Small Business Size Standards Solutions Summit March 4 in Fall Church, VA This Small Business Summit brings together business owners and executives, association leaders and government representatives to develop solutions to the size standards and to act upon the findings. Our focus for this Summit is the Professional, Administrative, Support, Waste Management and Remediation Services Industries. These companies face a dizzying array of size standards, from $4.5 million to $35.5 million, from 150 employees to 1,500 employees. This summit is set up specifically to let you participate and express not only your concerns but, most importantly, your solutions to this complex problem. At the conclusion of the Summit, discussion leaders will be charged with the responsibility of quickly returning vetted options to gain industry support for changes at the SBA and in small business procurement policy. You are strongly encouraged to send us your case studies, real-life experiences, concerns, needs and most importantly proposed solutions to improve the methods the government uses to promote and protect small businesses, generate job growth, and secure the nation’s industrial base.
