SBA's programs include financial and federal contract procurement assistance, management assistance, and specialized outreach to women, minorities and armed forces veterans. SBA also provides loans to victims of natural disasters and specialized advice and assistance in international trade. The SBA Dallas/Fort Worth District Office staff will be at the below local events to answer your questions on any of SBA's programs and services.  Upcoming Workshops Contract Management & Administration  Friday, August 22, 2014  10:00 am - 12:00 pm  SBA Dallas Fort Worth District Office  4300 Amon Carter Blvd. Suite 114 (Large Conference Room)  Fort Worth, Texas 76155 NO COST  Contract management plays a vital role in every organization.
