Federal Agencies Reach Out to Small Businesses Owned by Service Disabled Vets

    CLARKSBURG - Small businesses owned by service disabled veterans have a terrific opportunity to learn the ins and outs for doing business with the federal government. The U.S. Small Business Administration, West Virginia District Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington and Pittsburgh offices, are cosponsoring a federal and prime contracting event on Wednesday, April 21,  in Fairmont - Dynamic Networking for Small Business. There will be two workshops to help service disabled veterans who own a small business or who are starting a small business. 

    There are four information tracks covering the day’s activities. Along with the workshops for the service disabled veterans there will be panel presentations by agencies and large businesses looking for subcontractors, SBA certification programs, tips and tricks for government contracting and much more.

    Experts will be on hand to provide advice and suggestions about how to succeed with doing business with the federal government. The event has been designed to streamline the information process so all small businesses can get the information they need to get to where they want to go in their future. 

    “We are so excited to be doing this with the Corps of Engineers,” said Judy McCauley, District Director. “They are a highly skilled agency which makes them a perfect complement for reaching out to a very valuable segment of the small business community – our service disabled veterans.”
