of Independent Business (NFIB) presents pro-small business members of Congress
with its most prestigious award
Washington,
DC (September 14, 2016) – The National Federation of Independent Business
(NFIB), the nation’s leading advocate for small businesses, today
awarded members of Congress from Florida
with its biennial Guardian of Small
Business Award for his or her
outstanding support of America’s small business owners in the 114th
Congress.
“Many
elected officials claim that they are champions of small business, but our
Guardian Award shows our members and other small business owners who is really
fighting for them,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan.
