From networking to lobbying, the U.S. Chamber's Small Business Summit provided a wealth of knowledge to help me as a business owner. Being a President of a company can be overwhelming and challenging at times and I found it so helpful to join others in this great organization so focused on our business issues. The summit allows business owners to hear the latest on pressing policy issues from the experts and bring the collective voice of business to Congress. America's 23 million small businesses drive economic growth in this country--generating three out of every four new jobs and accounting for more than half of our gross domestic product. No one knows this better than the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. That's why I encourage small business owners to take part in America's Small Business Summit being held from May 11 through the 13 in Washington, D.C.

the Small Business of the Year Award.
