Pastor Randall Blanchette of Cedar Creek Alliance Chapel of Twin Lake offered the following invocation:

Dear God, I come to You with thanksgiving in my heart for allowing me to be an American. You have blessed this nation greatly, because from its beginning we have acknowledged You. I also recognize the fact that every person here was first and foremost handpicked by You to be here. Without Your guidance we will inevitably make selfish decisions. But with Your leading and wisdom, we can all give and receive wise counsel.

Ultimately God, it’s Your desire that we serve one another with a pure heart. And a pure heart can only come from a heart that is surrendered to You. Dear God, I ask You to bless and protect these leaders as they seek Your will to lead us. Help us as a state to move forward in unity so that You can be pleased with us. You are an awesome God and we need Your blessings.

I ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Whereas, There are over 29,000 Michigan small businesses owned by women which employ over a quarter-million citizens in the Great Lakes State; and

Whereas, Between 2014 and 2019, women-owned businesses in Michigan were rated as one of the highest in the country for workforce growth, firm expansion, and increased revenue; and

Whereas, Michigan was recently known as one of the top five best states for women to start a small business, proving our state’s dedication to a business-friendly environment; and

Whereas, Nationally, there are an estimated 11,600,000 women-owned businesses in the United States that employ nearly 9 million individuals and generate more than $1.7 trillion in revenue; and

Whereas, Women-owned businesses in the United States account for 39 percent of all businesses, employ 8 percent of the total private sector workforce, and contribute 4.2 percent of total business revenue; and

Whereas, Women-owned businesses had a growth rate of two and a half times the national average, growing 114 percent between 1997 and 2017; and

Whereas, Women-owned small businesses play an important role in our economy and encourage growth in our communities; and

Whereas, In cooperation with the Small Business Administration and local partners, Small Business Centers, and Women’s Business Centers, it is important to equip businesswomen with the skills they need to succeed, while also aiding in the enhancement of entrepreneurial development across our state; and

Whereas, We appreciate all women entrepreneurs whose small businesses contribute to the growth of our state and who continue to make it a great place to live, work, and raise a family; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize October 2019 as Women’s Small Business Month; and be it further

Resolved, That we strongly encourage all Michigan residents to support women-owned small businesses so they continue to thrive in the future.
