NETWORKING SESSIONS To all small, women-owned small, small disadvantaged, and HUBZone small businesses, this is your personal invitation to enter the door and explore contracting opportunities at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). It's a door worth entering. As the government's chief acquisition agency, GSA spends billions of dollars annually on products and services and also helps other Federal agencies purchase them directly from vendors. GSA awards a significant number of its contracts to small businesses. This is good for our nation's economic growth, since small businesses generate the majority of new jobs and contribute so much to the nation's economy. Therefore, doing business with you is important to us. Theses events will give you an opportunity to interact with successful women-owned small business entrepreneurs. A panel discussion will provide insight into possible contract opportunities and the benefits of doing business with GSA. We hope you accept this invitiation to attend one of these sessions. The sessions will be held on Wednesday, September 29, 1999 at Alexander Hamilton Custom House, 1 Bowling Green, Whitehall Street Entrance, New York, New York 8:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. and Wednesday, October 6, 1999 at Gateway Hilton @ Raymond Boulevard, Newark, New Jersey (across from the NJ PATH @ the Newark Station) 8:30 a.m. -- 12:30 p.m. To register or for additional information, please call (212) 264-8260, no later than September 21, 1999.
