SUMMARY:World Trade Month: Small Business Awareness
DESCRIPTION:May is World Trade Month\, a time to recognize and echo the importance of global trade\, particularly fair trade. It’s important to acknowledge that trade is on our minds not only during May but every single day of the year. Our work supporting fair trade is a 24-hour job as few industries depend more upon – and benefit more from – trade than American agriculture. \n\n\n\nIt’s not an understatement to say that the gains from trade are powerful. When people produce what they are best at\, and trade it for things they are less adept at producing\, both sides benefit. Historically\, economic integration in the post WWII era delivered immense benefits. Trade is not the only reason\, but it is a major factor in helping the number of people living in extreme poverty fall to record lows and become dwarfed by the number of people not living in extreme poverty.

SUMMARY:Responding to Solicitations
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will lead the participants through the process of responding to governmental contracting solicitations. We will use a sample solicitation from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) to explore several techniques you can utilize when responding to a range of solicitations. Special emphasis will be placed on the process of deconstructing the solicitation so that the responder may see what is required\, what is suggested\, and what is standard boilerplate. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is relevant both for businesses who are new to responding to solicitations and for those who want to refine their technique.

SUMMARY:2023 Derby Diversity Week
DESCRIPTION:The week preceding the first Saturday in May\, known to those in the know as “Derby Week\,” attracts more than 1.5 million visitors to Louisville\, KY\, making it a premier spot to meet business and community leaders\, celebrities\, politicians\, and just about everyone who is anyone. People come together to enjoy numerous related galas\, parties\, and concerts.  \n\n\n\nWe believe that Derby Week is more than just a place and time. It’s an opportunity for growth\, both personally and professionally. A chance to not only make beautiful memories to cherish and have a fantastic amount of fun but to connect with people that can truly enrich your life in so many ways.   \n\n\n\nBut for too long\, minorities have not had easy access to all the Derby season has to offer\, despite having had a long historical contribution. Of the first fifteen Derby races\, thirteen were won by Black sportsmen. They were then banished from the sport\, destroying income streams for many Black families committed to the horse racing industry. Across decades\, the Latinx community has made outstanding but unheralded contributions to the sport\, including roles in backside maintenance and as prominent jockeys. \n\n\n\nDerby Diversity week is the vehicle that allows us to participate and make an impact our way. With business by day and festival by night.
