Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company is the exclusive insurance
industry co-sponsor of National
Small Business Week, a nationwide effort of the U.S. Small Business
Administration to support and promote the 28 million small businesses
that drive America’s economy.
Small Business Week takes place May 12-16 in San Francisco; Kansas City,
Mo.; Boston; and Washington, D.C. The cross-country event is designed to
engage the small business community and highlight the importance of
small businesses as innovators and job creators. Small businesses create
two out of every three new jobs, and half of America’s workers own or
work for a small business, according to the Small Business
Administration. Thousands of people are expected to attend live and
online events including forums and panels, networking events, trade
shows and webinars.
As part of its sponsorship, Colonial Life will present a live webinar on
employee benefits for small businesses at 4 p.m. Eastern time on
Tuesday, May 13. Participation is free but requires advance registration
and spaces are limited.
“Small employers are big business for the U.S. economy,” said Gil
Youmans, director, Small Market Solutions for Colonial
Life. “Providing benefits solutions for small businesses to help
them grow and be more competitive has been an important focus for us for
the past 75 years. We look forward to sharing some of what we’ve learned
to help other businesses succeed.”
