Open Forum HUBZone Helpline

[My Fernley News]

September 29, 2012

The HUBZone Office is excited to announce its new Helpline "Office Hours" to help small business concerns find solutions to their HUBZone certification questions.  Our Office Hours will allow a discussion and dialog with HUBZone staff about the HUBZone application process and provide advice and guidance on eligibility and continuing eligibility issues.

WHO:  Anyone interested in learning more about the purpose and eligibility requirements of the HUBZone program, the initial application, recertification process, and maintaining HUBZone eligibility.

WHAT:  An interactive conference call with rotating roster of HUBZone Office staff that will present a topic for discussion and then open the forum up for discussion.  The calls will last one hour, and can accommodate up to 120 callers.  Each session will focus on a specific topic that a HUBZone staff member will cover in-depth, with time for questions and responses afterwards.  Questions need not be limited to the scheduled topic; however, specific inquiries about an application status should be directed to your assigned analyst or [e-mail] - if your case has not yet been assigned.  

WHY:  To provide the public with regularly scheduled office hours for general information and guidance about the HUBZone Program eligibility and continuing eligibility requirements.  

WHERE:  Dial into 800-888-2144 Access code 3061773#

WHEN:  Every Tuesday and Thursday from 2pm to 3pm EST.
