To register: visit http://hartford.edu/cpd/ec/ec-register.aspx
This seminar will outline the various State and Federal Set-Aside Programs affecting Women Owned Businesses through identifying the intent of each program, eligibility requirements, benefits of certification, and how to become certified.
The government has set forth procedures to help ensure a level playing field on which women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) can compete for Federal contracting opportunities, while helping achieve the existing statutory goal that 5 percent of federal contracting dollars go to WOSBs. This rule will be reviewed in detail identifying the applicable NAICS Codes and corresponding industries. The government’s new registration system called System for Award Management (SAM) will also be reviewed.
