To improve the opportunities for women and the ability for buyers to locate women-owned firms, the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce is taking another giant step by publishing the first ever Guide to Women Contractors. By consolidating the connection to women business owners seeking access to large contracting markets, the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce will leave government and corporate buyers "no excuses" to not seek a women-owned business as a source for their contracts. You may want to download the complete PDF document about the guide here.
Over the last decade the growth of women-owned firms has been nothing short of revolutionary. However, our access to lucrative government and private contracting markets has not reached appropriate levels. Even though women own over 35% of all firms in the U.S., federal government, local government and large corporate contracting with women-owned firms is still typically below 5%. Consequently, women are losing billions of dollars every year in opportunities. To improve the opportunities for women and the ability for buyers to locate women-owned firms, the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce is taking another giant step by publishing the first ever Guide to Women Contractors. By consolidating the connection to women business owners seeking access to large contracting markets, the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce will leave government and corporate buyers "no excuses" to not seek a women-owned business as a source for their contracts.
Both. 25,000 copies of the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce "No Excuses" Guide to Women Contractors will be printed and provided to buyers and business leaders across the United States including all agencies of the federal government, all state and major local governments, and all major corporate buyers. The guide will also be provided online so that you may keep your listing updated and so that any qualified buyer may easily search, find and contact women-owned businesses regarding upcoming opportunities. Buyers will also be able to post opportunities online for women listed in the guide and women-owned firms will be able to setup industry identifications and keywords to automatically receive notifications of opportunities as they are posted.
