Chamber Announces Cape Ann Small Business Week, September 21-25

CELEBRATING CAPE ANN SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, SEPTEMBER 21-25

 

The Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Cape Ann Small Business Week 2020 is being celebrated this week in conjunction with National Small Business Week.

 

Every year since 1981 the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce has designated a special week to honor the achievements of Cape Ann’s small business entrepreneurs and their employees and salute their contributions to the economic vitality and community life of Cape Ann. Traditionally, Small Business Persons of the Year have been chosen for each Cape Ann community.

 

This year Cape Ann Small Business Week 2020 celebrates the resilience, creativity, courageousness and community spirit of every Cape Ann small business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

According to the Small Business Administration, “More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create nearly two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year….[T]his year’s [National Small Business Week] will recognize the small businesses who have navigated the coronavirus pandemic while supporting their employees and communities.”

 

The Chamber has also partnered with the Mass Office of Travel and Tourism, Discover Gloucester and Chambers and Destination Marketing Organizations across the Commonwealth to support the MyLocalMA campaign. [See related article below.] Cape Ann’s small businesses, like their peers throughout Massachusetts, “are still standing strong, doing their best to keep us safe. Our Main Streets need our love, now more than ever. Now is the time to find your local.”

 

The Chamber encourages all Cape Ann residents and visitors to celebrate Cape Ann Small Business Week by patronizing and supporting local small businesses – this week and all year round – and saying thank-you to business owners and their employees.
