The SBA is pleased to provide you with information on the application process for certification in the 8(a) Business Development Program. The program provides eligible firms with greater access to the resources they need to grow and develop their businesses. This, in turn, improves their ability to compete on an equal footing with other firms in the mainstream American economy.  
 
The Louisiana District Office holds a virtual 8(a) informational workshop on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 10:00 A.M. (This workshop is approximately a 1-hour session. )

This session provides information on the eligibility, application process and reporting requirements for the 8(a) BD program.  Additional information is presented on other government contracting programs with the SBA. To register for this session please contact Gail Brogan at gail.brogan@sba.gov. For additional information please call 504-589-6688.
