“Opportunity should be accessible – not reserved for a select few,” said Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Jim Spencer. “Opportunity, however, must be matched with preparation. Success requires businesses to be informed, confident, and ready to compete. That is why I encourage small businesses to participate in the Mid-Atlantic Matchmaker Prep Series and position themselves for success – measurable success.”
