The Busey Group was selected by the US Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, DC to provide a minority business development summit focused on Native American and minority small business contracting and development. The Bridging the Gap Summit was offered April 23 and 24 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The summit brought together Government contractors, large business, small business and Native American and Veteran owned business to facilitate future contracting relationships and business. A focus of the summit was facilitation of these relationships. In attendance were over 130 participants from across the nation. Presenters included Boeing Aerospace, The Army Corp of Engineers, NASA, Flintco (the largest Native American construction company), Small Business Administration (SBA), The US Department of Veterans Affairs and other contractors. The two day summit concluded with individual “how to contract” workshops. The summit closed with a trade show with over fifty booths. Future summits are planned.
