Description

Join the AICCO Oklahoma City Chapter for our October luncheon featuring the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Department of Commerce. 

Understanding the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program 

The SBA 8(a) Business Development Program can provide eligible small businesses with valuable resources and access to federal contracting opportunities—but understanding how the program works and how to position your business to take advantage of those opportunities is key. 

Join us for an informative discussion covering eligibility requirements, program benefits, and federal contracting opportunities available through the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program. 

Representatives from the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Department of Commerce will share insights to help business owners better understand the program and how it can support long-term business growth and success.

Whether you're considering the 8(a) program, currently navigating the federal contracting process, or simply want to learn more about opportunities available to Native-owned and eligible small businesses, we invite you to join us for an informative conversation, valuable resources, and meaningful connections.
