Sligo Presbyterian Church: Our Congregation and Community: Understanding the SBA's NEW Veteran Certification Program

Join us on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

As of 2023, the federal government’s certification for veteran-owned (VOSB) and service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB) small businesses has been formally transferred from the VA to the SBA! But just how much has the program changed? What do I need to do if I was already verified through the VA? How does being certified help me win government contracts? Join the Northwest Commission APEX Accelerator’s Aaron Ritsig as he answers all of these questions and more during this overview of the SBA’s newest formal certification program.

Topics covered will include:

Major program changes from the move to SBA
Eligibility Requirements
How certification fits into state & federal contracting

Offered by the Northwest Commission APEX Accelerator, PennWest Clarion Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and North Central PA APEX Accelerator.

This webinar is being offered at no cost.
