SUMMARY:SBA to Participate in Government Contracting Educational Panel Discussions
DESCRIPTION:CLARKSBURG\, WEST VIRGINIA - Did you know $128.8 million in contracting opportunities were awarded to West Virginia small businesses by the U.S. Federal Government in 2012? Do you have a product or service needed by federal agencies but don't know how to get contracts? If so\, join the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for two panel discussions during the 23rd annual Teaming to Win conference in Morgantown\, at the Erickson Alumni Center\, on May 28-29.\n\n\n\nBoth sessions will take place on Wednesday\, May 29 with the first one starting at 10:30 a.m. with a What's New\, What's Next\, What's Needed discussion. A panel of government representatives will provide advice on what's new in innovations\, what's next in trends\, and what are the upcoming federal contracting opportunities. The second panel discussion will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and is titled IMPACT! On Small Business. Experts will provide advice on the best ways to not only survive but thrive during difficult and challenging times   debunking the "too big to fail\, too small to survive" motto.\n\n\n\n"I encourage small businesses to take advantage of these panel discussions\," said Judy McCauley\, director of SBA's West Virginia District Office. "It's not often that this many government contracting experts are in the same room to provide guidance and answer questions."\n\n\n\nSmall businesses interested in these panel discussions can register at www.teamingtowin.org. \n\n\n\nLater that evening\, SBA's 2013 West Virginia Small Business award winners will be honored during a dinner at the Teaming to Win Conference. McCauley invites everyone to join her in recognizing these small business leaders. Registration and payment can be made at www.teamingtowin.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n# # #\n\nThe mission of the SBA is to aid\, counsel\, assist and promote the interests of small businesses by providing financial\, procurement and business development assistance and advocating on their behalf within the government. All SBA programs are extended to the public on a non-discriminatory basis.
