SBA Washington Metro Area District Director
Bridget Bean to deliver keynote address at Small Business Forum November 13 event hosted by American
Council for Technology
Washington, DC - SBA
Washington Metropolitan Area District Director, Bridget Bean, will be the
invited keynote speaker at the American Council for Technology’s Small Business
Forum on November 13, 2012. The topic of the forum is “Winds of Change”, and the
event will focus on strategies for growth and survival in a tough economic
climate and new opportunities and programs designed to help small businesses
succeed.
The American Council
for Technology (ACT) was founded in 1979 as a not-for-profit tax-exempt 501(c)3
organization at the encouragement of the Office of Management and Budget and
the General Services Administration to provide a forum where government Information
Technology (IT) executives could share information, strategies and
solutions. ACT achieves this by facilitating communication among
government managers and users of IT, the government agencies (Federal, state,
local and international) regulating those technologies, industry and the
academic community. In addition, ACT provides training and education to
maintain the managerial and technical competence of the workforce at federal,
state and local levels of government.
The Small Business
Forum will be jointly hosted by ACT and the Industry Advisory Council
(IAC). IAC was created in 1989 by the ACT Board of Directors to facilitate
interaction among private
sector entities serving the government IT marketplace. The event will take
place November 13, 2012 from 8:30 AM –
12:00 PM at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) building at 1735 New
York Avenue NW in Washington, DC and registration is required. For more
