EDC offers workshop on government contracts
Are you interested in doing business with the government? Join the San Juan Economic Development Council (EDC) for a two-hour seminar on San Juan Island, which will provide information on the goods and services that state and federal agencies buy, and how they buy them. The workshop will also cover San Juan County’s designation as a HUBZone by the Small Business Administration, which gives local businesses an edge over others competing for government contracts.
Tracy Hansen PTAC Assistant from the Thurston County Economic Development Council will give you the tools to begin the process of pursuing opportunities with federal and state government. Workshop includes an overview of how the federal and state governments buy goods and services, governmental registrations, how to conduct market research to understand your government customer, how agencies advertise their procurements, small business programs and certifications, and much more.
Date: Tuesday, December 8, from 11am – 1:00 pm. Cost: $15, includes light lunch and materials. Advance registration required. Sponsored by the San Juan County Economic Development Council and hosted by Key Bank, 95 Second Street, Friday Harbor. Visit www.sanjuansedc.org/gov-contracts to reserve a space, or call 360-378-2906 for more information.
The EDC thanks Islanders Bank, Heritage Bank, Orcas Island Market, San Juan County government, the Town of Friday Harbor, the Ports of Friday Harbor, Lopez and Orcas for supporting our Business Education Series.
