By virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution of Virginia in the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia , there is hereby officially recognized:
   Small Business Week
   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 Commonwealth of Virginia 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 ,  
   Glenn Youngkin , do hereby recognize May 1 - 7 , 2022 as
    SMALL BUSINESS WEEK
    in our COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA , and I call this observance to the attention of our citizens .
