NatlEshipWeek: Celebrating entrepreneurs and highlighting resources that help them succeed
It’s National Entrepreneurship Week, February 10-17, a non-partisan, congressionally chartered initiative founded in 2006 that takes place every year in the third week of February. The annual initiative was relaunched in 2017 as NatlEshipWeek to bring together a network of partners to educate, engage, and build equitable access to America’s Entrepreneurship Ecosystem.
As part of NatlEshipWeek, you can participate in SBA Day on Friday, February 16. Join the U.S. Small Business Administration and NatlEshipWeek for an engaging day of sessions on federal resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses, starting at 11 AM.
Kick off the day with an informative conversation on federal procurement and contracting opportunities, featuring Associate Administrator of the Office of Government Contracting & Business Development, Jackie Robinson-Burnette, and Associate Administrator of the Office of Entrepreneurial Development, Mark Madrid.
Following this informative conversation will be a series of 30-minute Client Journeys, with SBA mentors and their clients sharing their stories, and experiences, and highlighting resources provided to them through federal opportunities.
