Happy Women's History Month!
Join us Monday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m. to learn more about the Women-Owned Federal Contracting program. To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting program.
Joining the WOSB Federal Contracting Program makes a business eligible to compete for federal contracts set aside for the program.
Bring your questions to this dynamic event! There will be time for Q&A.
Please email darrah.perryman@sba.gov if you have any questions about this event. Monday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m.
