ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia’s Small Business Utilization Department will hold a series of five town hall meetings this summer beginning June 16. The meetings are designed to engage the local supplier community in dialogue and information-sharing sessions regarding how to do business with Sandia, to review current contracting opportunities and to discuss specific topics requested by the supplier community.
The first town hall will be held June 16 from 1-3:30 p.m. at the New Mexico Veterans’ Memorial located at 1100 Louisiana SE, at the northeast corner of Gibson and Louisiana Boulevards and is targeted to veteran owned (VOSB) and service disabled veteran owned small businesses (SDVOB). The second town hall in the series, for women owned small businesses, will be June 23, at the Central New Mexico Work Force Training Center at 5600 Eagle Rock NE. The remaining town halls will take place through the end of the fiscal year.
Veteran business owners are encouraged to come and meet with local VOSBs and SDVOBs to find a local, veteran-owned supplier of goods or services.
