Save Money and Time Conducting Outreach: Alliance Northwest attracts
hundreds of qualified small and diverse small businesses from throughout the
region. By participating in Alliance with a booth and/or matchmaking
session, you will save time and cost from attending multiple events to reach
the same number of businesses.
Educate businesses on how your organization buys: Businesses come to Alliance
seeking information on how to effectively find, bid, and win government

businesses can best be prepared to sell their goods and services. Preparing
contractors to bid will result in better solicitation responses and reduce risk
