“This is a national awards program, and many of the award winners from local and state small business award events are invited to the national celebration of National Small Business Week,” said John Fleming, SBA Delaware Director. “Locally, award winners from Delaware and their nominators – in both national and local categories – are recognized at a high-profile awards ceremony and networking event, drawing some of the area’s top lenders, economic development organizations, and small business people, as well as elected officials and members of the press. Both the local and national recognition of award winners through this awards program celebrates the millions of small businesses in America that employ more than half the country’s private workforce and generate so many American innovations.”

The SBA Awards nomination process is simplified this year; completed SBA Award nominations consist of a completed:

  • SBA Award Nomination form; and
  • SBA Background Form 3300.

Both of these forms are found online at: http://www.sba.gov/nsbw/awards.
