Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 17, 2013

Cadence Group is pleased to announce that Tina Teree Baker, ERMM, President, CEO and founder of Cadence Group, will be sharing her insights and expertise at the Atlanta ChallengeHER event on July 18, 2013. Baker will be speaking to the group of over 350 participants, providing a unique look into her success as a federal prime contractor for over 20 years. Her achievements in tapping into the nearly $100 billion of federal contracts set aside for small businesses have allowed her and her company to increase profits and create jobs. In addition to her speaking role as a small business owner, Baker will moderate a panel with Contracting Officers and large prime contractors, facilitating the question and answer session.

The event, sponsored by the Small Business Association (SBA), Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), and American Express OPEN (OPEN), offers the opportunity for Woman Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) to learn directly from contracting officers, SBA program officials, and women business owners engaged in government contracting. Women can get contracting advice and learn about resources in the Atlanta metro area, sign up for updates on current Procurement Policy and the WOSB Program, and network with other WOSB firms. “I am proud to be a part of the ChallengeHer program and be able to offer my knowledge and share my experience as a small business contractor with the federal government.” offered Baker. “This is an exciting time for women in business and I am happy to help other women with small businesses access the procurement opportunities available from the federal government.”

The event will also connect WOSBs with the decision-makers and contract opportunities at national level and in their local communities. Participants can register in the System for Award Management, which serves as the government contracting portal and learn about eligibility requirements for the Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program, which allows contract set asides for woman owned small businesses in certain industries.
