Register: emma.carrasco@ttu.edu

Touted as a “game-changer” when it was first introduced in 2016, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s All Small Mentor-Protégé Program isn’t new anymore. Known now as simply “SBA Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP),” it is still extremely powerful for large and small contractors alike.
