February 8.  The Small Business & Technology Development Center at Henderson State University presents its highly acclaimed First Steps FastTrac Series beginning February 8th and running twelve weeks at the Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce.  The total fee is $99 which includes registration and all course materials.  Government buyers are typically reluctant to contract with start-ups because the company has little or no track record on which to judge their capability.  This course is highly recommended for newer companies expanding into the government market, as well as for start-up and pre-start-up entrepreneurs.  For information and registration before January 29th, call 870-230-5184 or 870-230-5004, or Email: gourled@hsu.edu or hasleyl@hsu.edu
