SMALL BUSINESS COMMITTEE
To align with a new TGIC working group on small business, the TASC board of directors has established an ad hoc small business committee. Steve Liberman, a member of the TGIC working group, will serve as chair of this committee until his terms as TASC board member and TGIC representative expire in March '08. If you are interested in serving on the committee or have concerns you'd like to bring to its attention, please contact Steve at 201-2710 or mnclib2@gmail.com.

One of the main focuses will be to foster teaming between small and large businesses. This would increase business opportunities by helping large businesses meet their small business mandates, and by helping small businesses find the resources to prime on set-aside contracts. Networking businesses of all sizes, both contractors and supporting services is one of the great benefits of being involved in TASC!
