Ready, Set, GROW! Webinar (Dec 6 @ 10 a.m.): Are you interested in contracting opportunities with state government agencies? If so, our Ready, Set, GROW! Procurement Connections Webinar is for you. Join us online for a look at how our small, minority, women, and veteran procurement programs work. We will also share strategies for mining public data to help with your business development efforts. You’ll meet buyers from four state agencies.

They will also have an informative panel discussion on the issues they encounter most.

All SSBCI programs are now open and applications are being accepted. Learn about the different Maryland SSBCI programs and find the right one for you here!
