GAACC Master Class Session 1: Minority Business Certification

GAACC Master Class Session 1: Minority Business Certification

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 (3:00 PM - 5:30 PM) (CDT)

Description

Is your company taking advantage of all opportunities? 

By becoming certified as a small business enterprise (SBE), women-owned, minority-owned vendor (W/MBE), a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB), or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), your company can gain priority access to procurement contracts with organizations and entities committed to supporting historically disadvantaged businesses.

Attend this workshop and panel discussion to hear from procurement experts, and business owners who have become certified, and learn the ins and outs of the seemingly complex certification process.

This event is free and open to the public.
