Description
Government contracts represent a multi-billion-dollar opportunity, yet small businesses often face barriers to entry. This session will provide insights into how small business owners can access government contracts, navigate the application process, and leverage strategic partnerships to scale their businesses. We will discuss the importance of supplier diversity, policy advocacy, and available resources to help small businesses successfully secure government contracts.
What is On the Table
On the Table is a one of a kind opportunity to bring people of diverse backgrounds together to have meaningful conversations about topics that are important to the community. This community-wide initiative seeks to explore the ways in which we have the power to collaborate to make our community stronger, safer, and more dynamic.
Following On the Table, the Community Foundation of Central Georgia will survey participants to find out what issues matter most to them and what kinds of ideas for solutions emerged from the day’s conversations. We’ll also help to share some stories of participants to help inspire others to make a difference.
