ChallengeHER Event Connects Department of Energy with Qualified Women Small Business Contractors

ChallengeHER is a joint initiative from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) and American Express OPEN, the small business division of the financial services company.

ChallengeHER is a national initiative designed to promote the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program, bring more women-owned firms into the federal government’s supply chain, and provide an avenue for government agencies to meet qualified women-owned small business contractors.

At the free ChallengeHER Department of Energy (DOE) event, officials and successful small business contractors will educate attendees on growth opportunities in government contracting as well as how to work as a federal contractor with the DOE.
