The Ypsilanti District Library partners with the Ann Arbor Area SCORE office to offer virtual programs of interest to small business owners, entrepreneurs, and those interested in starting a small business. On Dec 14th, we're offering a free presentation on Zoom on federal government contracts, which can be challenging to those unfamiliar with government contracting. Here is the program description: " The Federal Government awarded $154B of contracts to small businesses in FY 21. Have you ever thought about getting a small piece of that pie? This session will outline the fundamental steps and techniques you need to potentially obtain federal contracts. We will discuss the approach that any company business can use as well as the special set aside categories of procurement that exist. In addition, we will discuss federal and local resources that are available to help you achieve success." This program is free. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think may be interested, including your library patrons, anyone is welcome to attend! Please note that you must register for this program in order to get the Zoom meeting link; it will be sent to all registrants a couple of days in advance of the program.
