WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration recognized enterpreneurs that were being recognized in Washington, DC today as part of President Obama’s final State of the Union address. Ronna Rice, CEO of Rice’s Lucky Clover Honey, Abdirahman Kahin, owner of Afro Deli, and Mark Davis of WDC Solar will attend the speech tonight. “Under President Obama, our businesses have added 14.1 million jobs over the past 70 months and small businesses create 2 out of 3 net new private-sector jobs. Small business owners like Ronna, Abdirahman, and Mark reflect the entrepreneurial spirit embedded in America, spurring innovation and job creation, making a mark in communities and propelling the economy,” said SBA Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet.
