Recognizing May 3-9, 2026, as Small Business Week in honor of New York's small business owners and entrepreneurs

This Senate resolution designates the week of May 3-9, 2026, as Small Business Week in New York State to honor local entrepreneurs and business owners. The measure specifically acknowledges the contributions of small businesses, which make up the vast majority of companies in the state and employ millions of residents. It also highlights a planned event on May 6, 2026, where members of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Voices community will visit the State Capitol to meet with lawmakers. By formally recognizing this week and the visiting group, the bill aims to celebrate the economic role of small businesses and encourage ongoing dialogue between policymakers and business leaders.
