\nDear Enterprising Women in Business Community:<\/p>\n

\n

\nTomorrow is Veteran\u2019s Day, a day we take to honor and commemorate those that served our country and fought nobly for our freedom. Here in the SBA\u2019s Office of Women Business Ownership (OWBO), we invite you to join us as we take time to celebrate the veteran\n community, especially women veterans, that served our country and are leading as entrepreneurial businesswoman.  <\/p>\n

\nThis includes veterans like Alicia Hernandez in Arizona. Alicia\u2019s story, featured below, is one of perseverance and shows that skills learned while on duty can help enterprising women once they come back home. Her ambition, work ethic and refusal to give up\n are admirable. Our commitment at OWBO is to continue to help women business owners like Alicia thrive in the small business communities across the country.<\/p>\n

\nPlease stay connected to learn more about our upcoming events and announcements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nRegards,<\/p>\n\"Natalie\n
