Small Business Administration
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam. We value our long standing relationship with the SBA and see them as an extremely important part of our future. |
Contractor Development and Competitiveness Center The Contractor Development and Competitiveness Center (CDCC) was established by a grant from the City of Seattle to the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle. The purpose in creating the CDCC was to provide assistance and support to small businesses who are not fully participating in the contracting opportunities in this region. The mission of the CDCC is to empower minority, women, disadvantaged, and emerging small construction firms in becoming more competitive by developing or improving their business operations skills and by providing access to contracts with private and public owners; developers; and prime contractors. The CDCC has helped the Waka Group achieve success through the establishment of effective information and knowledge of management systems. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with the CDCC. |
