Yesterday, I attended a meeting of leaders from across federal agencies to discuss small business procurement. I had the chance to thank them for working tremendously hard to give small businesses, minority- and women-owned businesses, and service-disabled veterans new opportunities to compete for federal contracts.
The Obama Administration’s outreach to small businesses has been truly unprecedented. Since March, more than 22 top administration officials, including Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki, and GSA Administrator Martha Johnson, have joined more than 10,000 small business owners at 20 matchmaking events around the country.
