Posted by Molly Nelson - A small follow-up to my earlier post about women's procurement programs.
As reported on the Washington Post Small Business Blog,
legislation recently signed into law by President Obama reverses a
proposed rule that would have hurt procurement for women-owned small
businesses even more. House Small Business Comittee Chairwoman Nydia
Velazquez (D-N.Y.) said of the action, "President Obama has made clear
that women's opportunities to compete for their fair share of federal
contracts will be a priority from now on."
Additionally, the Wall Street Journal's Independent Street blog also put up a post with
great tips for small business owners newly interested in applying for
government contacts. From the Small Business and Entrepreneurship
Council to the SBA, there are a lot of resources for small-business
owners interested in procurement!
