Our local, regional and state government bodies provide a variety of contract opportunities for small businesses but navigating the process can be intimidating. What is critically important? What niches are being filled? Where can you find RFPs and RFQs for both services and large projects? Join us for an informative panel discussion with agency experts to find out what they look for when awarding government contracts, followed by a Q&A.
You'll Learn How To:

Increase your success when competing for contracts
Access opportunities for women and minority owned businesses
Locate open RFPs and RFQs
Discern which information you should be providing
Understand the niche's agencies are trying to fill
Find for disabled populations and returning vets
