WIPP Action Alert: Support Bill to Boost Women Contracting


Help get larger contracts in the hands of woman business owners. If you have not done so already, please urge your Senators to support S. 2172, the Fairness in Women-Owned Small Business Contracting Act. Click here to take action! And if you have contacted your Senate offices, we thank you for your continued support in this effort to see this important bill become law.

This legislation removes existing barriers to federal contracting officers who award contracts to women owned businesses. Boosting the size and number of federal contracts will help spur economic growth by allowing successful women-owned small businesses to compete for and win larger contracts; enabling them to hire additional employees and grow their businesses.

Write your Senators and tell them that you support the Fairness in Women-Owned Small Business Contracting Act and that they should too. Urge them to sign-on as co-sponsors of this legislation. To make your voice heard to your Senators, please click here and follow the instructions.
