National 8(a) Association

Welcome . . .

to the official headquarters of the National 8(a) Association

With members throughout the country, we are the most innovative association of this type in the nation. We have helped 8(a) certified and non-8(a) certified businesses gain the valuable education, promotion and federal contracting information they need to further advance their level of experience and achieve a higher degree of success.

Summer Events

Website Update:

Members now have access to the online National 8(a) Association community. We have updated the login feature to include both profile and company information. A search engine will be available in September to find and connect with other members. The contract forms will also be uploaded later in September.

Please contact info@national8aassociation.org if you have any difficulties with login or your profile. Current users, beware that unless you are a paid member you no longer have log in access.

The National 8(a) Association has just finished up the 2010 Summer Conference in Anchorage, Alaska. Downtown Marriott Hotel provided a great conference facility for both the vendors and attendees. The biggest change this year was the match making session with the open form. The speed dating format went especially smooth. Thanks again to our sponsors, speakers and volunteers for making this event bigger and better! At 320 plus attendees, we exceeded our expectations.

For all those who have asked for the Power Point presentations from the Conference:
