Description

THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL OVERVIEW OF THE SWAM CERTIFICATION PROGRAM AND HOW TO APPLY

Are you a small, women-owned, or minority-owned business that wants to do business with the Commonwealth of Virginia? Small business owners who are looking to participate in Virginia’s specialized procurement and contracting opportunities are encouraged to become SWaM certified. The SWaM certification is a vehicle to promote the economic growth of Virginia’s businesses.

Becoming SWaM certified is just the first step in doing business with the Commonwealth and many local government bodies. Each year the state buys goods and services totaling more than $8 billion. The Commonwealth of Virginia wants to do business with you and increase participation of small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses.

This workshop will cover the SWaM Program and certification/designation types, the online application process, the required documents needed to apply, and how to use the certification to do business with the Commonwealth (intro to eVA, Virginia's Online Procurement Portal).

Presented by Angela Barber, Business Services Manager - Hampton Roads/Eastern Shore Region

THIS WORKSHOP IS IN PERSON AND WILL NOT BE RECORDED.
