Join us this week as we celebrate National Veterans Small Business Week. We celebrate our nation’s military and veteran-owned businesses right here in McDowell. This year’s theme is #VetBiz. The SBA has resources that highlight the breadth of free to low-cost entrepreneurial resources that veteran and military entrepreneurs can access right in their neighborhood.In an effort to recognize our military heroes year-round, we have created a banner that designates your business as Veteran-Owned along with a new badge that will display on your listing.
On a national level, each day during NVSBW, the SBA will highlight different topics related to the veteran entrepreneurship journey. It will also host various national-level events to align with each topic area. You can find a full list of events taking place across the country here. Also, check out SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza's video kicking off the week and read the Presidential Message on National Veterans Small Business Week.
