The National Alliance of African American Chambers (NAAAC) & TargetGov Join Together to Provide Government Contracting Training Opportunities

Minority Firms Open Door to Billions in Government Contracts

The first of a year-long series of national teleconferences to win federal contracts starts January 27, 2010. These teleconferences are hosted by the National Alliance of African American Chambers (NAAAC) & TargetGov and are open to all entrepreneurs nationwide.

“Given the economy and the reality of today's business environment, it is essential that Black enterprises increase their revenues and customers. Being successful in Federal contracting, which can be a significant growth strategy, can do both!” says Clayton Hammond, Chairman of the NAAAC. “In order to assist entrepreneurs in being successful in Federal contracting, the leadership of the NAAAC felt it was essential to develop a resource that would teach entrepreneurs the necessary skill sets and insights. To develop such a resource, the NAAAC partnered with TargetGov to develop this year-long series of teleconferences. As the series is front loaded with invaluable information, an entrepreneur need not wait until the series is completed to pursue contracting opportunities. While this resource was developed by the NAAAC, it is open to any entrepreneur that wants to learn how to be successful in Federal contracting.”

By attending this series of teleconferences participants will listen to experts in the industry as they share their experience – their successes and their failures, learn the language of government contracting, become familiar with the various federal resources and programs available to help them get started, and determine how to best focus the company’s efforts towards success. In addition, participants will learn the specific documents needed to effectively market their company, recognize the unique accounting rules required of government contractors, become aware of opportunities to team with other companies in the federal contracting market, realize the unique timeline of government contracting, and understand the keys to getting in the door with the real decision makers.

All teleconferences will be held on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 10:00 am PST, 11:00 am MST, noon CST and 1:00 pm EST. Participants will not only hear the expert speakers, but will also receive an exclusive Toolkit created specifically for each individual teleconference. These Toolkits are e-books that are packed with information, contacts and other valuable resources.

Gloria Berthold Larkin, President of TargetGov, will be the expert speaker for all of these teleconferences.
