WIPP's myContracting Magazine April 2014 | Page 2

A WIPP Welcome:

Connect and Succeed!

Welcome to the inaugural edition of WIPP’s myContracting Magazine. Whether you are new to federal contracting, or an experienced contractor, having the connections, resources and information you need provides you the competence and credentials necessary to succeed.

More than a quarter of a century ago, a group of twelve women began meeting to discuss their difficulty in getting federal contracts and these women forever changed the role women business owners play in shaping public policy and changed the perception of women entrepreneurs impact on our economy. We have made great progress – women entrepreneurs have come together under the WIPP umbrella and created a new and visionary role of our participation in our nation. WIPP members have fought for policies to help us grow our businesses with a sense of purpose and knowledge. We are high profile and focused, and pursue goals for growth that align with our personal values and advance the future growth of the women’s business community. We are in charge of our future and have built an infrastructure for success.

MyContracting Magazine pays tribute to those twelve pioneering women who worked so diligently for our future, and their work and vision will be

evident in our publication. It is because of them that

we are here today launching MyContracting Magazine. Our WIPP leaders will celebrate the past and build our future success by sharing their insights and strategies to help you on your contracting journey, introduce you to Agency leaders, update you

on essential policies and trends, provide opportunities and forecasts.

myContracting Magazine is

your contracting magazine –

for you and by you.

Enjoy the journey, build

your competence and

credentials, learn, grow

and share.
