Give Me 5: Fast Track to a Facility Clearance

At the end of 2014, President Obama signed a $1.1 trillion spending bill for FY2015. With a final budget for the year intact, government agencies will have a clearer understanding of upcoming contracts and look to small businesses to help fulfill their contracting goals. For some contracts, a facility clearance is required to make sure the person or company is eligible for access to classified information. 

To help women business owners learn how to successfully be granted a facility clearance, the Give Me 5 program is hosting a free webinar on January 21 that will offer best procedures to navigate the government bureaucracy in order to secure a facility clearance quickly and cost-effectively. The webinar will be instructed by Cindy Brook, Contracts Manager and Facility Security Officer at Binary Group.

The Give Me 5 program was created by American Express OPEN and Women Impacting Public Policy in 2008 to help women business owners get a leg up on selling to the world’s largest customer:  the U.S. government.
