 Since 1998, the SBA has presented Phoenix Awards to business owners, public officials, and volunteers who displayed selflessness, ingenuity and tenacity in the aftermath of a disaster, while contributing to the rebuilding of their communities.
This year?s recipients include two Texas small business owners who rebounded after massive inventory losses from Hurricane Harvey; an Ohio County Commissioner who swiftly responded to the area?s needs following a tornado, and a volunteer from the Northern Mariana Islands who disregarded his personal losses to ensure the island?s recovery in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yutu.
