Hear from our members:
"I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the webinar “Win Government Contracts: Bid Preparation” that was put on by the Louisiana Economic Development Authority and highlighted in a recent GICC Newsletter. The program was very informative – and FREE! These trainings that you highlight are a great way for a small business like ours to learn about programs and strategies that will help us grow. Thank you for educating us on the availability of these resources! It is one of the best benefits to our GICC Membership."
