Attendees learned about programs, organizations and resources available in the community to both existing small businesses and startups to help them succeed, grow and create jobs. “The importance of small business to the health of our nation’s economy cannot be overstated. The 27,200,000 small businesses in the United States create an average of 7 out of every 10 new jobs, and provide countless families with the opportunity to achieve the American dream. I will continue to fight for small business and for the future prosperity of our children and our nation,” said Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO). “Today we heard from a wealth of experts on economic growth, small business development and entrepreneurship. The panelists presented on a tremendous host of resources and opportunities available right here in this community as we work together to create prosperity and get people back to work.” The Summit featured presentations from representatives of the Grand Junction Business Incubator Center, Mesa County Workforce Center, Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce, Grand Junction Economic Partnership, Colorado Mesa University, SCORE, and the Small Business Administration. During the Summit, Tipton was presented with the Hill Champion Award by SCORE for his steadfast work in Congress to support small businesses and economic development. “We are honored to present this award to Congressman Scott Tipton as he has been a constant and tireless advocate in support of SCORE and America’s small businesses,” said SCORE CEO Ken Yancey. “He has used his own experience as a small businessman to guide his work on the House Small Business Committee and as a Subcommittee Chairman to help small businesses thrive as an economic engine of our country.” Tipton is the Chairman of the House Small Business Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade. He is the co-founder of the Congressional Small Business Caucus, which has grown to include over 90 bipartisan members dedicated to advancing efforts to foster the economic certainty needed for small businesses and entrepreneurs to succeed and create jobs. “It’s truly an honor to be recognized by SCORE as a champion of small business. While there are many other deserving candidates, it is with great pride that I accept this award. As a small business owner, I know firsthand the challenges facing entrepreneurs as they strive to make their businesses successful and create jobs,” said Tipton. “My experiences in small business have helped guide my work in Congress to fight for policies that would strengthen America’s economy and create new opportunities for small businesses to do what they do best—create jobs.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
