Barbara Ashe is the Director and Founder of the Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP), a nonprofit focused on training veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses on how to compete, comply and perform in the federal marketplace.  VIP offers four different curriculums to connect veteran-owned businesses with the information and resources they need to grow in the federal market at no cost to participants.  

In this episode, Barbara and I discuss:

  • The tremendous growth companies experience after going through VIP’s programs and the community VIP fosters
  • How VIP’s mission and focus remains the same since its inception almost 12 years ago
  • VIP’s exciting new marketplace platform that is keyword searchable for industry and government
