Dear Members,
Many of you have been able to take advantage of training through The Federal Technology Center (FTC). The FTC has been a great resource to small businesses and made it possible to receive quality training locally to be able to bid on government contracts. Unfortunately, due to lack of funding, the FTC will cease operations March 16.
I will do my best to locate another resource for this area, and will keep you informed. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
