THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK: WHY IT MATTERS

April 30 - May 6, 2023

Celebrating Small Business Owners: National Small Business Week is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of small business owners to the economy and society as a whole. Small businesses are often the backbone of local communities, creating jobs and providing essential goods and services.


Raising Awareness: National Small Business Week is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges that small business owners face, such as access to capital, market competition, and regulatory compliance. By highlighting these challenges, policymakers and the public can better understand how to support small businesses.


Networking and Learning: National Small Business Week often includes events, workshops, and seminars that offer small business owners the opportunity to network and learn from each other and from experts in various fields. This can help small business owners to gain new skills, expand their knowledge, and make valuable connections.


Encouraging Entrepreneurship: By celebrating the success of small businesses and providing resources and support for small business owners, National Small Business Week can help to encourage entrepreneurship and inspire more people to start their own businesses. This can lead to greater innovation, job creation, and economic growth.


Overall, National Small Business Week serves as an important reminder of the vital role that small businesses play in our economy and society and the importance of supporting their growth and success.


Be sure to visit, shop, and support our small businesses.

TEXAS MUTUAL INSURANCE ENCOURAGES DRIVERS TO PRACTICE SMART CELL PHONE USAGE

Texting and driving is a widespread problem, with severe consequences. The National Safety Council reports that 1.6 million crashes occur annually due to cell phone use while driving, causing almost 390,000 injuries. One in four car accidents in the U.S. is due to texting and driving, a habit particularly prevalent among younger drivers.


Despite the risks, many people continue to text and drive. This dangerous behavior is six times more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk.

For more than 60 years, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America's entrepreneurs and small business owners. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. Every day, entrepreneurs are working to grow small businesses, create 21st-century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America's global competitiveness.

TEXAS MUTUAL INSURANCE ENCOURAGES DRIVERS TO PRACTICE SMART CELL PHONE USAGE

As cell phones have become an integral part of our daily lives, it is crucial to remember to use them safely while driving. Here are some important reminders:


  • Ideally, it is best to use your cell phone when your vehicle is stopped. If you need to make a call, wait until you are at a traffic light or pull off the road safely. Do not stop on the shoulder of the road as it can put you in danger.
  • Ensure that your cell phone is easy to see and reach, out of its case, and plugged in.
  • Program your frequently dialed numbers in a one or two-button memory for easy access.
  • Keep conversations short and avoid socializing on the phone while driving.
  • Hang up in tricky traffic situations without warning if necessary. Safe driving is more important than telephone etiquette.
  • Avoid dialing a number while driving, especially in heavy traffic. If you must, dial the first three numbers, check the road, and then dial the rest.
  • Keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you.
  • Consider using a "hands-free" speakerphone system, which allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.


Remember, all drivers are at risk of having a vehicle accident, and the use of a cell phone may increase this risk. By following these safety reminders, we can reduce the risk and stay safe while driving. Do not become a statistic!
