Small Business Week at the Lake Forest Library

National Small Business Week Apr 29-May 5

National Small Business Week (NSBW) is April 30 to May 5 where SCORE and the Small Business Administration (SBA) celebrate small business.

NSBW started in 1963 as a way to promote the growth and development of small enterprises and to draw attention to small businesses nationwide. The initiative includes events, awards, and a virtual conference. Follow along this year with #smallbusinessweek.
