Federal Certificate Program for Women Entrepreneurs

Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), a national nonpartisan public policy organization that advocates on behalf of women business owners, has launched The WIPP Federal Contracting Certificate Program to provide women entrepreneurs with credentials, recognition, and tools to successfully compete in the federal marketplace.

Federal law mandates the U.S. Government to purchase at least five percent of its goods and services from women-owned small businesses (WOSBs), however, Barbara Kasoff, president of WIPP, says more than $4 billion is still up for grabs.

For more information and to enroll in The WIPP Federal Contracting Certificate Program, visit www.wipp.org or email Procurement@wipp.org.

WIPP provides several educational tools and resources to the women’s business community, such as Give Me 5 and ChallengeHER.
