UVA works directly with Virginia's Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (SBSD) to host several certification/recertification workshops each year. Typically, these one-on-one workshops are conducted in Carruthers Hall with only SBSD's regional rep and company owners/reps in the room. SBSD will work with each company to ensure all required supporting documents are uploaded electronically into their system. SBSD will also assist with certification application. By the end of the workshop, company owners/reps will know what, if anything, remains to complete their certification/recertification application submission.
