SB/DVBE Advocates

Did you know there are literally hundreds of Small Business Advocates in state agencies. See below.

Were any of you aware of this information? Have any of you ever contacted any of the Advocates? I have eliminated the attachment as you can get information by clicking on link.

Thanks Jesse.

Hi Scott, this is a good page to share with your small businesses - http://www.dgs.ca.gov/pd/Programs/OSDS/advocate.aspx.  This page which is maintained by CA Department of General Services explains the role of the Small Business/Disadvantaged Veteran Business Enterprise and also has the link to the Advocate contacts, which I have also attached.   For small business owners looking to connect with a state agency, often the best place to start is with their advocate.  Otherwise they can just contact our office! 

Thanks!

Jesse
