Rosemary Elebash released the following statement today in response to Gov. Robert Bentley signing a proclamation today declaring Nov. 28 Small Business Saturday in the State of Alabama:
“Our members are grateful for Governor Bentley’s support and encouragement.
“Small business is what our economy is all about, and if we’re going to create jobs, we need a healthy small-business community.
“Small and independent business owners are among the most generous supporters of civic groups, local charities, youth sports, schools and virtually every other form of community activity. Supporting these merchants is a great way for people to help their friends and neighbors and create jobs and opportunities here at home.”
NFIB/Alabama is Alabama’s leading small-business association. To learn more about What NFIB is doing to support Small Business Saturday, visit www.NFIB.com/shopsmall.
