RICHMOND, Va. - Nine people have been selected to receive awards from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Richmond, Virginia District Office, at the annual Small Business Awards Luncheon in Richmond, on Friday, May 18. The Richmond District Office territory includes all of Virginia except the counties of Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church which are covered by SBA's Metropolitan Washington District Office.

The 2012 observance of National Small Business Week is May 20-22 in Washington, D.C. where more than 100 outstanding small business owners from around the country will be honored and the National Small Business Person of the Year will be announced.

Virginia's Small Business Week event, to be held at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond on Friday, May 18th, will honor Virginia's Small Business Persons of the Year along with five other award winners.
