Economic Inclusion
and Upcoming Changes to WOSB Certification Process
Economists agree that increasing the numbers of minority and women owned businesses will result in a stronger and more sustainable economic growth for the nation. Nevertheless, women and people of color still face a multitude of barriers to entrepreneurship. Acknowledging the enormous untapped potential of these sectors, many large companies, including federal and state government agencies, embrace supplier diversity and invest in outreach programs to attract and support these ventures.The SBA's WOSB Certification is an example of how the government is working to level the playing field for women owned business. If you are not in the loop, a major change is coming to this program starting July 15.


Norcal PTAC is committed to assisting small businesses, especially women and minority owned businesses, find and win opportunities in the government marketplace. We also facilitate networking and provide information on various government contracting topics.
