SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: U.S. SBA Federal Women-Owned Small Business Certification - The Process is Free!
DESCRIPTION:The US SBA will be ending self-certification of Women Owned Small Business this year. In summer 2020\, the WOSB and EDWOSB certification process changed. Effective October 15\, 2020\, self-certification is no longer an option. Women owned small businesses can certify through SBA’s FREE online certification at https://beta.certify.sba.gov/. \nEffective July 15\, 2020\, women-owned small businesses (WOSB) and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSB) are required to obtain certification of their WOSB/EDWOSB status to compete for set aside or sole source federal contracts. \nThis webinar will walk you through the new process\, including: does my NAIC qualify; market research of set-aside or sole source opportunities; what documents do I need for WOSB vs EDWOSB. Many Federal government agencies are not meeting their Women Owned Business goals. If you are a women owned small business considering entering the Federal market or are a current Federal contractor\, you should attend. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nShane Mahaffy\, Lead Business Opportunity Specialist\, U.S. Small Business Administration\nKim Garber\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute\n\n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming webinars. \n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Guarding and Securing Intangibles - Protecting what you cannot see and touch
DESCRIPTION:Protecting information sounds easy and straight forward but in reality it is much more difficult. Consider just a few questions – Who has access? Where is it stored? How is it stored? How is it supposed to be stored? How is it shared? What governing documents and requirements apply? Lastly\, are applicable requirements being followed? Information Security is not just a checklist or a page of questions. It is a developed way of thinking about these requirements and what is necessary and it is these ideas that this webinar will address. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all Cyber Friday webinars. \n
