North Carolina Proclaims November 9-13, 2026 as National Veterans Small Business Week
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has signed a proclamation declaring November 9-13, 2026, as National Veterans Small Business Week in North Carolina; the proclamation was published in Raleigh on November 9.
The proclamation recognizes the contributions of veteran business owners to North Carolina's economy. The state is home to several major military installations and a large population of service members, veterans and military families, and veteran-founded companies operate across manufacturing, construction, food service and professional services.
The proclamation encourages residents to support veteran-owned businesses during the week and points to U.S. Small Business Administration resources for veteran entrepreneurs, including loan guarantees, business training and government contracting assistance.
