Description

Position your business to capitalize on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Proposed Build Back Better Act. As we shared with you before, Congress just passed President Biden's $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to repair roads and bridges, expand access to broadband internet and to help nonprofits and churches expand or repair their facilities using green construction. Next up is the proposed $ 1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act designed to increase access to childcare, expand affordable healthcare, increase access to affordable housing, provide universal pre-k, extend child tax-credits, address climate change, and cover 4 weeks of paid leave. What does that mean for you as the owner of a small business or the leader of a nonprofit? The Chicago Midwest Section National Council of Negro Women invites you to attend "Go Get Your Money 2". We will build on lessons learned from December's event and show you how to take advantage of the contracting opportunities.
