NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESSES

NASDB, is a Trade Association, consisting of over 300 minority and women-owned businesses, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses, and HUBZone businesses, located throughout the United States. We are about the enhancement of opportunities for these businesses to fully and freely participate in the business of America. We do this primarily by educating minorities and women as to what they're entitled to under the law, and how to best achieve it.

In addition, we help educate the Governmental agencies, and the major prime contractors who serve them, as to their responsibilities under the Constitution and the laws enacted by the United States Congress. We seek to create an environment conducive to potential supplier interacting successfully with potential customer.

Our activities, have served to make many things crystal clear, as to the myriad of problems that face small disadvantaged businesses, as they attempt to navigate the Federal Procurement system. NASDB has been the most active and aggressive, of all the Trade Associations. And, we've successfully done this for nearly 20 years now.

While we are proud of our past, we feel our best days are still ahead of us. We shall continue to be an agent of change. While others are content to complain, we are about interacting with people to successful achieve change. Much of that necessitates our standing in their shoes, to better understanding their needs and desires. While we are advocates, we want to build bridges built on trust, not fear of precipitous actions.

We recently moved our base from Washington, D.C., to Savannah, Georgia. We decided, after being in Washington for seven years, that it was time for change. We felt that the SDB Institute of Learning, our "reaching and teaching" arm would be better nourished by the favorable attitudes of a jewel of the South, Savannah, Georgia. We firmly believe we can better serve our constituency, by being "from D.C.", rather than "of D.C.". We know,
we personally "feel" better, just being in Savannah.

Things don't just happen. They are made to happen. We've known that for a long time. More of you need to learn that. And, you need to learn how to deal with it. So many of you have been left out of the decision making about what's happening around you. And, it's going to continue, unless and until, you do something about it.

NASDB is the vehicle to help accomplish this....

To join NASDB is simple. You "self-certify" that you are owned and controlled by a minority/woman-owned, or one of the other "designated groups", covered under the laws. Your submittal of the $300 annual dues is indication that you support and want to join us, as a REGULAR member.

You non-designated group firms who believe in our cause, can join as ASSOCIATE members, by the submission of the $500 annual dues.

It's that simple.
