Small Business Calls on the Federal Government to Bring True Accountability and Transparency to Small Business Contracting
Presented by the the WOSB National Council of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce and The American Small Business Chamber of Commerce
Small businesses, business associations and advocates are invited to join us as we work to elevate accountability and opportunities for America’s proud and strong small business suppliers.
Over the last months and years, mounds of reports and other evidence have shown that small business suppliers to the federal government are being left out of billions of dollars in opportunities. This summit will showcase the issues and data — and provide small business advocates with the tools we need to turn the tide and bring real transparency and accountability to small business contracting.
