Join us for an overview of how to sell to the federal government, to include SBA programs and certifications to assist your small business.
This month we welcome guest presenter, Lacia Sommars, Program Analyst with our local Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Field Policy and Management, presenting on Section 3 business registry. Section 3 aims to ensure that HUD-funded projects’ preference of employment, training and contracting opportunities be directed to businesses owned by, or that substantially employ, low- and very low- income individuals, particularly those who receive federal housing assistance. This session will introduce the purpose, benefits, eligibility criteria, and next steps for participating in Section 3.
