Press Release

Public Announcement

I am not the originator of this, but I think it's important and hope you will share.

As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods --merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!

It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?
Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?
Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Victory For WOB Contracting Program

Jeanne Richard Jones, Public Policy Chair

October 5, 2010. Today, the Small Business Administration released the final rule which will implement the Women’s Procurement Program, enacted into law in the year 2000. When enacted, contracting officers will have the ability to restrict competition to women-owned small businesses if the procurement falls within one of the eighty-three (83) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes.

For eleven long years, women business owners have anxiously awaited final implementation of the Women’s Procurement Program. Thanks to Administrator Karen Mills and her team, the program is finally underway. It is believed that increased federal contracting opportunities will give women business owners a chance at growing their business.

Important to the program’s success is a change made in the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 which restored "parity among all of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) small business contracting programs. The program will be considered equal to any other small business contracting program.
