Are you a woman business owner seeking federal contracts? The U.S. Small Business Administration’s March web chat will focus on a new Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) federal contract program aimed at bringing more WOSBs into the federal contracting arena. Federal contracts can provide women entrepreneurs with the oxygen they need to take their business to the next level. Celebrate Women’s History Month and visit go.usa.gov/4BV to get information about the new contract program.
SBA’s web chat series provides small business owners with an opportunity to discuss relevant business issues online with experts, industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs. Chat participants have direct, real-time access to the web chats via questions they submit online in advance, and during the live session. Participants will gain valuable information on how to participate in the program to gain increased access to government contracting opportunities.
Michele Chang, senior adviser in the Office of Government Contracting and Business Development at the SBA, will host this web chat on SBA’s new federal contract program for women. She will answer questions for one hour.
Participants can join the live web chat by going to www.sba.gov, and click on this link. Web chat participants may also post questions before the March 31 chat by going to this link.
