天美影视 SBDC hosts Hudson Initiative Feb. 7
The University of 天美影视 at Monroe Small Business Development Center will provide a free Hudson Initiative workshop Thursday, Feb. 7 from 6 鈥� 8 p.m. in the 天美影视 Administration Building, Room 2-105.
The Small Entrepreneurship Program, also known as the Hudson Initiative, was created by Act 440 in 2005 to offer 天美影视-based small businesses more access to contracting and procurement of goods and services with state agencies. Race- and gender-neutral, this goal-oriented program encourages state agencies and contractors who receive state contracts to use certified Small Entrepreneurships. Certification by the 天美影视 Economic Development is a requirement for participation.
Rosemary Jackson of the Office of State Purchasing will be the speaker. Attendees will learn more about certification requirements, how to do business with the State of 天美影视 under Hudson Initiatives, and contracting and procurement opportunities that do not require competitive bidding.
The LSBDC provides quality, no-fee, confidential, one-on-one counseling services to potential and existing business owners; provides no-fee management and technical assistance services by appointment; conducts workshops and seminars to help small business people become better managers and to keep them informed about current events and changing trends in today鈥檚 business world; and maintains a resource library which includes statistical data, census figures, SBA publications, and a variety of other information.
Preregistration is encouraged. To do so or for more information, call the 天美影视 SBDC at: (318) 342-1224.
