Alaska Proclaims November 9-13, 2026 as Veterans Small Business Week
Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy has issued a proclamation declaring November 9-13, 2026, as Veterans Small Business Week in Alaska, recognizing the contributions of veteran business owners to the state's economy.
The proclamation notes that there are more than 1.6 million veteran-owned small businesses nationwide, and that the leadership and discipline veterans developed in service carry into the businesses they found and run. Alaska has one of the highest shares of veterans in its population, and veteran-owned firms operate across fishing, tourism, logistics and professional services.
The proclamation encourages residents to patronize veteran-owned businesses during the week and highlights U.S. Small Business Administration resources for veteran entrepreneurs, including loans, training and government contracting assistance.
