Bucks County to Present Annual “Certification Made Easy” Workshop for Women, Minority, and Veteran-Owned Businesses. Thursday, October 13, 2011, 3 p.m.-5:00 p.m., Bucks County Bar Association, Doylestown, PA
Your business may be eligible for certification from the Pennsylvania Department of General Services if it is at least 51% owned by women, minorities, and/or veterans. The certification application is FREE, and the business retains the certification status for two years. There are many benefits to applying for certification, including using the designation as a marketing tool, accessing government contract incentives, and participating in corporate supplier diversity programs.
On Thursday, October 13, 2011, the County of Bucks Business Development Department, in conjunction with the Bucks County Commissioners, will present the annual workshop “Women, Minority, & Veteran Business Certification Made Easy” to be held at the Bucks County Bar Association (135 East State Street, Doylestown, PA 18901). The program begins promptly at 3:00 p.m. and concludes at 5:00 p.m., followed by a networking reception. The popular program will guide participants step-by-step through the application, and answer questions on the process. Professionals who provide financial, legal, and consulting services to businesses are also encouraged to attend.
The workshop and networking reception is proudly sponsored by Fulton Bank. Pre-registration is requested due to limited seating; however, the program is FREE. To register, contact the County of Bucks Business Development Administrator, Sonia Smith, at 215-345-3839 or at srsmith [AT] co.bucks.pa.us. At pre-registration, participants will be provided with the application, and encouraged to review the criteria and the documents.
