The goal of 5% for women--owned firms was set back in 1994. Even though we represent one-third of all business in the United States, twenty years and the Federal Government continues to miss its paltry 5% goal for contracts with women-owned firms. To date, we have lost over $1 Billion contracting dollars and the number continues to grow each year.

Join us for the 2014 WOSB National Council Fall Conference as we work strategically to ensure our fair share of Federal Contracts. This day includes Insights to Growing Your Business, Building Your Message and Taking it to The Hill. Join us as we make our voices heard!
