SBA schedules online chat aimed at women who own businesses

The Small Business Administration is hosting an online discussion aimed at women-owned businesses that want to learn about federal contracting opportunities.

The online chat will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday. The SBA's website is www.sba.gov.

Michele Chang, senior adviser in the Office of Government Contracting and Business Development at the SBA, will host the chat and will discuss the SBA's Federal Contract Program for Women.

The aim of the chat is to offer insight as to how women-owned businesses can become federal contractors.

Participants can join the live web chat and also post questions prior to the event. There is no cost, and this is part of the monthly free discussions that the SBA hosts.
