Congressmen Cohen, Tanner to Host West TN Veterans and Small Business Conference

“Congressman Tanner and I are happy to be hosting this important seminar,” said Congressman Cohen. “It is vital that small business owners and veterans understand the assistance programs that are available for them in West Tennessee, and I think that this year’s conference will be very informative.”

The conference will provide participants with information about obtaining government contracts for small businesses, as well as about benefits and support systems available to veterans in West Tennessee. Additional topics to be discussed include market expansion to government clients and incentives available to veterans and small business owners. Congressmen Tanner and Cohen will be delivering keynote addresses during the breakfast and lunch sessions, respectively.

If you are interested in attending, please register as soon as possible as seating is limited.
