The federal government is the largest consumer of goods and services in the entire world, spending roughly $650 billion annually. Combined with state and local procurement, that reaches over a $1 trillion annually that is spent on goods and services.

When businesses first start to find government contracting opportunities, many are unaware of the resources that can help them qualify, find and connect with government buyers. For our inaugural BizBrunch, we have assembled 15 resource providers to help your small business take advantage of government procurement opportunities.

Join BizLaunch on June 5th, to learn about the government contracting resource providers and how you can capture a piece of the $650 billion spent in federal procurement.

Women's Wellness Walk & Talk 6/5/2023 6:00 PM - 6/5/2023 6:30 PM

Thu, 18 May 2023 16:09:43 GMT

About this weekly event

What if you could stop wasting time and money on hacks and fads and knew exactly what worked for you?

What if you had the time, energy, and consistency to do what you want to do when you want to do it?

There is SO much health/wellness BS online that it can feel overwhelming. And you start to doubt yourself because nothing seems to work (at least long-term), so you start beating yourself up, and you don't even have the time or energy anymore to figure out what to do next.

BUT you know you want to do something. You NEED to do something. Because life is too damn short to just be "good but busy" and feel like you don't have time for yourself.

So let's change that. Join nationally board-certified health and wellness coach Rachel Boehm for a free, casual stroll Mondays 6-6:30pm and get:

community
accountability
science-based, people-proven tips

to boost your energy and confidence.
