February WomenRISE

Your Roadmap to Local Revenue: Getting Started with State & Local Contracting

Tuesday, February 10, 2026
In-Person and Virtual

Join us for our February WomenRISE Workshop: Government contracts aren’t just for big companies, and they don’t have to be complicated. This high-energy session breaks down state and local contracting in plain language, showing women entrepreneurs how to identify real opportunities, build the right relationships, and take smart first steps based on where their business is today. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to pursue contracts soon, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a practical path forward.

Key takeaways:

Identify where state and local governments are spending—and which opportunities actually fit your business
Understand why trust and relationships matter as much as bids in government contracting
Pinpoint your personal next step, timeline, and readiness level
