🚨 Midweek Reality Check: The government has already set money aside for small businesses… the question is, are you qualified to win it?

Every year, billions of dollars in government contracts are reserved for certified small businesses, women-owned businesses, minority-owned businesses, and veteran-owned businesses. Yet many entrepreneurs never apply—not because they aren’t capable, but because they don’t know where to start.

Don’t let opportunity pass you by simply because you weren’t prepared.

Congratulations again to our inaugural ALPAS graduates! 🎉 These four entrepreneurs took the next step in investing in their businesses, and now it’s your turn.

🌟 ALPAS (Breakthrough) Business Program
📅 Starts Monday, August 3
🕙 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (ET)
💻 Live via Zoom
🗓️ Five weekly modules

By the end of the program, you’ll:
✅ Receive a Certificate of Completion
✅ Learn the process of becoming procurement-ready
✅ Understand how to pursue government contracting opportunities
✅ Gain the tools and confidence to begin bidding on government contracts

💲Investment:
$95 – PACCGA Members
$145 – Non-Members (includes a one-year PACCGA membership)

🎟️ Registration is easy! Scan the QR code on the pinned flyer, or click the link in our bio.

Your next customer could be a government agency—but only if your business is ready.

Will you be watching opportunities go to someone else… or preparing to compete for them?

☀️ Sunshine, Success & Meaningful Connections.

Our PACCGA Columbus TOAST was a reminder that you don’t need a large crowd to make a lasting impact, you simply need the right people in the room.

It was an evening of genuine conversations, shared experiences, and encouraging one another as we reflected on the first half of the year and looked ahead with renewed purpose.

One of the greatest benefits of being part of a chamber isn’t just growing your business, it’s knowing you’re not building it alone.

🤝 You find people who celebrate your wins and understand your challenges.
💙 You become part of a community that genuinely wants to see you succeed.
🌱 You build relationships that often turn into collaborations, referrals, mentorships, and lasting friendships.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so meaningful. A special thank you to Filberto’s at Banks Food Hall for hosting us and creating such a welcoming space for our Columbus community.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming part of PACCGA, we’d love to welcome you. Our membership information is pinned at the top of our page, we invite you to take a look and discover how we’re connecting entrepreneurs, professionals, students, and organizations across Georgia and beyond.

Here’s to more conversations, more connections, and more opportunities to grow, together.
