Biz Talk With Josh Smith
Thursday, January 17, 2013 Enhancing Federal Women-Owned Small Business Programs
A recent amendment to the FY13 National Defense Authorization Act effectively removes previously established spending caps on federal contract awards to Women-owned businesses under the Small Business Administration's Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting program. This development will create a better opportunity for women entrepreneurs to get their fair share of government contracts - a potential $20 billion worth.
To hear about the impact from those in the know about this positive development for women businesses, tune in to Biz Talk With Josh Smith this Thursday when Josh will be joined by Ms. Lourdes Martin-Rosa, American Express OPEN Advisor on Government Contracting; Ms. Barbara Kasoff, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP); Ms. Lisa Firestone, President and Owner, Managed Care Advisors, Inc.; and Ms. Michelle Benjamin, CEO and Founder, Benjamin Enterprises. |
