What really drives Michigan’s economy? If you guessed Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs, you’re right!

Small businesses are job creators which are vital to the growth of Michigan's economy. The support small businesses and entrepreneurs have given to Michigan’s economy is to be acknowledged and celebrated. Five of the founders that support and celebrate entrepreneurism in Michigan have banded together to create Michigan Celebrates Small Business, the state's premier awards ceremony for entrepreneurs and small business leaders. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and supporters of small business are encouraged to join us on April 30th, 2009 to acknowledge the award winners from across the state.

This year mark's the 5th Anniversary of Michigan Celebrates Small Business event.
