National Veterans Small Business Week
November 2-6
|
|
This year marks the 7th annual celebration of the US Small Business Administration’s (SBA) National Veterans Small Business Week, an event that honors, connects and empowers veteran-owned businesses and entrepreneurs across the country. This important week takes place November 2-6 with the theme #VetBiz Resources in Your Local Community, aimed at highlighting no-cost to low-cost entrepreneurial resources – like the UTSA SBDC.
As we celebrate our Nation’s service members and their sacrifice, we encourage you to check out all the events available. You can still support the celebration, even if you’re not a veteran, by sharing the links and information.
