This workshop is designed to assist small and non-traditional operators who want to learn how to become a Department of Defense or Air Force subcontractor. Businesses include those providing construction work, food, landscaping and management services.

The event is sponsored by Global Resources Solutions Inc. and Nipoa Standard on behalf of the Air Force Small Business Program Office, in collaboration with the Pacific Impact Zone and the Maui Economic Development Commission.

The Malcolm Center is located at 1305 N. Holopono St., Suite 5.

The event includes breakfast and lunch.

Since 1991, the Mentor-Protégé Program has provided significant support to disadvantaged small and medium-sized enterprises, helping them expand their overall market participation base, create more jobs, and increase national income. I did. The program helps small and medium-sized businesses (protégés) to successfully compete for prime contracts and subcontracts by partnering with typically larger companies (mentors) on individual project-based contracts.
