Pryor said he wants to do his part to help connect Arkansas veterans with the resources and programs they need to start and expand a successful small business.

He will be joined by Small Business Administration acting administrator Jeanne Hulit, Arkansas SBA officials, and Arkansas veteran business owners at the event.

Pryor said when traveling around the state, he often meets members of the military who want to make the leap from soldier to business owner, but may not have access to the resources and services to help make the dream a reality.
