Presenter: Chris Tran Ley, Business Service Manager, Virginia Department of Small Business & Supplier Diversity

This free workshop is designed to educate small, woman and/or minority business owners about opportunities to sell their goods and services to the Commonwealth of Virginia and many local governments – now including the City of Alexandria! Each year the State buys goods and services totaling more than $8 billion – learn how your company can be a part of that! The workshop will provide information about the Virginia procurement process, registering in the eVA system and the benefits of SWaM certification.
