261. How To Win Government Contracts And Why You Qualify For More Than You Think with Marianne Boules

This week on CEO School, Suneera shares her fireside conversation with Marianne Boules, founder and CEO of Boules Consulting, a full-service consulting agency serving nonprofit organizations, social enterprises, and government contractors all over the United States. Marianne explains the significance of government contracts and grants for women-owned businesses. She highlights the opportunities and advantages of obtaining certifications as a woman-owned business, minority-owned business, or small business. The conversation encourages women to pursue government contracts and leverage certifications to stand out in business. Before Boules Consulting, Marianne was a public servant with local nonprofit organizations. During her tenure, she noticed that smaller nonprofits did excellent work integral to the community's well-being and could benefit from an extra set of hands. However, these nonprofits operated on razor-thin budgets and needed more staffing. Marianne is Nonprofit Management Certified (NPM) and Grant Writing Certified (GWC) and holds her Master’s in Public Policy from the University of California, Riverside. Connect with Marianne: https://boulesconsulting.org/ Connect with Suneera: https://www.instagram.com/suneeramadhani/
