PTAC Sponsors Free Evening Seminar in Davison on May 23

New growth opportunities are available to local businesses large and small through working with the government.  To explore the possibilities, join the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) of the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Davison Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Davison on May 23 for Selling your Products or Services to the Government from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Davison Area Senior Center.

Dustin Frigy, Director of PTAC for the Regional Chamber says government contracting can provide an opportunity to diversify your business.

“Working with the government can open new doors for area businesses,” said Frigy. “There are many ways that businesses large and small can work with local, state and federal government departments.  That’s why this seminar is so important.  It provides the information needed to successfully navigate the government maze and reveals exactly what they are looking for from contractors.  Come to the Davison workshop on May 23 and we will show you how to grow your business.”

LaDawn Hastings, Executive Director of the Davison Area Chamber of Commerce says the small businesses in her area will benefit from learning how to diversify.

“This workshop provides a great opportunity for Davison area businesses to learn more about government contracting,” said Hastings.  “Many business owners in this area are focused on the day-to-day operations of their businesses and that’s why hosting this workshop in the community will make it easier for them to take advantage of access to information designed to help them grow.”
