🌟 Thrilled to be part of SBA Advocacy Day! 🌟 Yesterday, we had the privilege of co-hosting an incredible SBA Advocacy Day! The U.S. Small Business Administration - Office of Advocacy, the U.S. Small Business Administration's San Antonio District Office, SBDC, UTRGV Veterans Business Outreach Center, and SCORE Mentors of Austin gathered with small businesses to talk about advocacy and regulatory compliance on the topics of about DOL's Wage and Hour Overtime Final rule, Independent Contractor Final Rule, OSHA's Proposed Emergency Response (ER) Rule, and USPTO impact of AI on Intellectual Property. A highlight was our site visit to TRI Austin, hosted graciously by Mike Dingus, Ph.D., Vice President and Technical Director, who shared the innovative solutions being developed and their impact on the military community. The commitment to supporting small businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit was truly inspiring. Grateful for the chance to connect with like-minded professionals and share ideas on how we can continue to support and advocate for our small business community. A big thank you to everyone involved for making this event a success! Janea Jamison, MPA David Elizondo Eric Spencer Juan Santos #SBA #Entrepreneurship #Advocacy #SBDC #SCORE #SmallBusiness

The SBA is upgrading how our customers apply for and manage federal contracting certifications beginning on August 1, 2024. Here’s what you need to know: ✨ Initial certification applications will not be accepted during the upgrade period. ✨ The upgraded system is expected to be available for new applications in early September. ✨ New and prospective applicants for federal small business certification are encouraged to wait until the upgrade is complete before applying. ✨ Most certified firms will not be impacted by the pause in applications. ✨ Firms needing to renew during the upgrade period will receive guidance from their certification program. ✨ Applications submitted before August 1, 2024, will continue to be processed during the upgrade period in the order received. ✨ If your firm is facing a deadline on a proposal that will be impacted by your certification status before August 1, 2024, please contact us at certifications@sba.gov and provide the contract number, agency, and bid due date. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e8KNST6z
