Corona Chamber of Commerce

Creating & Sustaining a Strong Local Economy
Promoting the Community

For more than 50 years, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.

More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.

As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness. The S.B.A. designates small businesses as those employing less than 500.

This week typically takes place the first week of May, with National Veterans Small Business Week taking place the first week of November. Whether it's an official time though, the CORONA Chamber believes we can still celebrate every day the heroes of our community—those who employ our residents and make our city an ideal place to live, work, and play.
