DESCRIPTION:BE Informed! Come and Network!\n\n\n\nSWCA\, in partnership with the Office of Minority & Women's Business Enterprises (OMWBE) and the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Program\, invites you to an upcoming event designed to support contractors and businesses across the region.\n\n \n\nThis session is open to ALL companies interested in learning more about the Bridge Replacment Project and Washington's new FSBE (Federal Small Business Enterprise) certification. OMWBE will provide an overview of the certification\, explain eligibility requirements\, and offer on site assistance to help contractors get signed up.\n\n \n\nFSBE certification is especially important right now.
