Women-Owned Small Business Certification Federal Contracting Program Workshop

Event description

DID YOU KNOW....SBA launched the Women-Owned Small Business Certification Federal Contracting Program to provide women business owners with increased opportunities to compete for and ‘WIN’ federal contracts?

 The Small Business Act authorizes contracting officers to specifically set-aside, certain requirements for competition solely among women owned small businesses (WOSBs) or economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSBs).  These opportunities are meant to increase the number of federal contracts award to women entrepreneurs.

Topics to be covered:

What is WOSB certification?
Why is it important?
