NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, America's progress has been driven by pioneers who think big, take risks and
work hard; and
WHEREAS, from the storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups that
keep America on the cutting edge, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the
cornerstones of our nation's promise; and
WHEREAS, small business owners and Main Street businesses have energy and a passion
for what they do; and
WHEREAS, when we support small business, jobs are created and local communities
preserve their unique culture; and
WHEREAS, because this country's 28 million small businesses create nearly two out of three
jobs in our economy, we cannot resolve ourselves to create jobs and spur economic growth in
America and Orange County without discussing ways to support our entrepreneurs; and
WHEREAS, the President of the United States has proclaimed National Small Business Week
every year since 1963 to highlight the programs and services available to entrepreneurs
through the U.S. Small Business Administration and other government agencies; and
WHEREAS, Orange County supports and joins in this national effort to help America's and
Orange County's small businesses do what they do best — grow their business, create jobs,
and ensure that our communities remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today;
NOW, THEREFORE, we, the Orange County Board of Commissioners, do hereby proclaim
May 1 through May 7, 2016 as "NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK" in Orange County in
celebration of the many Orange County small businesses.
THIS THE 19" DAY OF APRIL, 2016.
