WASHINGTON, D.C. — Kelly Loeffler, a small business manager, stated on Sunday that the agency is “empowering” small businesses nationwide as it kicks off National Small Business Week.
“It’s wonderful to begin Small Business Week here in Washington. From there, we’ll expand across the country. The goal of Small Business Week is to highlight how crucial small businesses are to our leaders in Washington. I want to express my gratitude to our amazing SME leaders for their contributions to our community. They represent 99% of all businesses in the U.S. and are responsible for two out of three new jobs. This aligns with what we are achieving at this agency under President Trump.”
Having grown up on a small farm in rural Illinois, Loeffler built a diverse career in the automotive sector and spent 25 years in financial services and technology. She shared insights with Breitbart News as National Small Business Week was launched.
For more than six decades, the U.S. has recognized National Small Business Week, which celebrates the impact of American entrepreneurs and small business owners.
“We are recommitted to our mission of empowering small businesses and bolstering the U.S. economy, ensuring that they know small and medium enterprises are thriving.
Throughout Small Business Week, Loeffler will receive the National Small Business Person of the Year award along with other national accolades.
Loeffler noted that small business winners exemplify the hardworking individuals driving businesses throughout the country.
“We have 50 state winners, but the wealth of talent and the achievements of these small businesses are evident every day when I interact with them,” Loeffler remarked.
After the conference in Washington, the team will head to various cities including Boise, Idaho; Phoenix, Arizona; Nashville, Tennessee; and Hartford, Connecticut, to engage with local entrepreneurs, lenders, and community leaders for discussions on how to support job creators.
She added that no one champions small businesses quite like the 47th President.
“They are at the forefront of innovation. While President Trump may not have as many small business backers, I believe there’s a noticeable shift toward revitalizing manufacturing in America. We’re increasingly creating things here, driven by these remarkable entrepreneurs we’re honoring this evening.”
