INROADS March DBE Newsletter – Paving the Way for Montana’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprises

When the federal stimulus package hits Montana, Lou Thompson of Flathead Lifestyle, LLC wants to make sure that small businesses-especially Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) and tribally-owned enterprises – are positions to benefit.

For the past few months, Lou has been traveling the state as a contractor of the Montana Procurement Technical Assistance Center (MTPTAC) presenting workshops to help small firms understand how to do business with the State of Montana.

"We believe a lot of money in the stimulus package will be funneled through the state procurement system, so we want to make sure small business is positioned to compete for those contracts," Thompson says. Three workshops remain in April
at Rocky Boy, Fort Belknap, and Fort Peck (See the workshop calendar on the last page for details.)
