Small businesses are the backbone of America's economy, representing more than 99% of all employers, creating three-fourths of all new jobs, and accounting for more than one-half of the nation's gross domestic product. Now, the Chamber will have the opportunity to recognize one exceptional small business owner for his or her tireless work and embodiment of the spirit of enterprise.

Online registration is now closed. You can still register onsite at the Grand Hyatt hotel beginning Wednesday, May 10.
