COULD DOING BUSINESS WITH THE GOVERNMENT CAN BE FOR YOU?

 

Learning how to sell to the government, whether federal, state, or local, is one way of increasing sales for your business. On April 24th the SBDC is conducting a seminar titled:  How to do Business with the Government: Policies, Procedures, and Resources.  Learn how to become state HUB certified, federal 8a & 8m certified or learn about many other certifications. Local government contracting experts will present and answer questions.

 

Hope to see you there,

 

Sincerely,

Dave Erickson
