Executive Order (EO) 13985, ?Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities through the Federal Government,? directs agencies to make federal contracting opportunities available to all eligible vendors and to remove barriers preventing underserved individuals and communities from entering into such opportunities. Building on EO 13985, President Biden has set out to increase the share of federal contracts awarded to small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) from the current goal of 11% to 15% by fiscal year 2025.

Learn details and tips on how your small business can benefit from this change at the following event, sponsored by The GovCon Council of the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce.

Distinguished panelists, including SBA Deputy Associate Administrator Antonio Doss, will discuss:?

• Changes already made and those that will become effective this year
• Industries that stand to gain the most from EO 13985
• How to prepare your company for the coming growth in procurement opportunities
