Description:

 

Touted as a “game-changer” when it was first introduced in 2016, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s All Small Mentor-Protégé Program isn’t new anymore. Known now as simply the “SBA Mentor-Protégé Program,” it is still extremely powerful for large and small contractors alike.

 

In this course, government contracts attorneys Shane McCall and Stephanie Ellis of Koprince McCall Pottroff LLC explain the ins and outs of the Mentor-Protégé Program, covering the program’s eligibility requirements, its potent benefits (including the ability to form special mentor-protege joint ventures), the application process, and common misconceptions and pitfalls.
