Our hard work is paying off! The momentum decrying the SBA’s proposed new rule for the Women’s Procurement Program has grown exponentially. In the past five weeks, WIPP members have written op-eds, been interviewed and quoted by local and national media, and participated in online podcasts. Senators and Representatives in Washington have heard our call and, as a result, held Congressional hearings and briefings, circulated ‘Dear Colleague’ letters, and sent SBA Administrator Steve Preston letters lambasting the SBA’s proposed new rule.
We have worked hard and seen results but there is still one more task. It is vital that we each, individually, demand that the SBA withdraw the rule. Submit your comments to the SBA directly; the official comment period ends February 25. Do not miss this chance to have your business' voice go on the record.
We have posted a sample letter to the SBA on our website. Please click here and follow the simple instructions; or if you prefer, go directly to the SBA comment section and write your own comments. Please forward Anna Lubiner at alubiner@wipp.org your comments to the SBA.
Do not miss this important opportunity to stand up and be heard. The deadline for comments is February 25th, so act now!
