Proclamation for National Small Business Week 2022
WHEREAS,America's strongest economic growth in almost 40 years has been driven by the resilience
of our small businesses who, despite a world-wide pandemic, continue to pioneer innovative solutions
to our country's greatest challenges and create opportunities for families and workers; and
WHEREAS,from the storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups that keep
America on the cutting edge to the small manufacturers driving our competitiveness on the global
stage, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the cornerstones of our nation's
promise; and
WHEREAS, when we support small business,jobs are created, and local communities preserve their
unique culture; and
WHEREAS, because this country's 32.5 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
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,the City of Bozeman supports and joins in this national effort to help America's small
businesses do what they do best- grow their business, create jobs, and ensure that our local
communities remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Cynthia L.Andrus, Mayor of Bozeman, do hereby proclaim May 1 through May
7, 2022 as National Small Business Week.
