LOUISVILLE — Do you or someone you know have what it takes to become Kentucky’s Small Business Person of the Year for 2010? If so, the U.S. Small Business Administration wants to hear from you.

Each year since 1963, the president has designated one week as National Small Business Week in recognition of the small business community’s contributions to the American economy. Business owners from every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam, who have been named as their state’s Small Business Person of the Year, travel to Washington for three days of small business-related activities. One of the winners will be chosen as the national Small Business Person of the Year.

Small Business Champion awards are also presented to persons who have used their professional skills or personal talents to further public understanding and awareness of small business. Champion awards include Small Business Exporter, Young Entrepreneur, Family-Owned Business, Financial Services, Home-Based Business, Minority, Veteran and Women. A special award, Entrepreneurial Success, is presented to a large company that began as a small business.
