CG Moving hosted an LCC meeting on September 17, 2019, covering small business certifications.
Meeting at the San Mateo Marriott
The September 17 meeting was held at the newly renovated San Mateo Marriott San Francisco Airport.
On Tuesday, September 17, we held our monthly meeting at the beautiful and newly renovated San Mateo Marriott San Francisco Airport. Thank you to Sylvia Lopez of the San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce for securing the meeting room. The service was top notch and it was great to be back in that hotel. If you ever get the chance, try the falafel bites from their appetizer menu.

What We Covered: Small Business Certification Programs
CG Moving presented federal, state, and Google small business certification options to the group.
We had a small but diverse group of entrepreneurs interested in learning about the different federal and State of California Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certifications available to small and diverse businesses. We also talked about the California Public Utility Commission and their partnership with the Supplier Clearing House, the National Minority Supplier Development Council, and the Google Small Business Diversity Program. We covered the requirements to apply, the potential benefits of becoming certified, and how certification can positively impact our local community.
CG Moving's Own Business Certifications
CG Moving holds three business certifications: California DGS, MBE, and Google Digital Excellence.
At CG Moving, we are proud to hold the State of California Department of General Services Small Business Certification, as well as the Minority Business Enterprise designation from the Supplier Clearing House. We have also participated in the Digital Excellence Program, a collaboration between Google and Dartmouth College-Tuck School of Business, which comes as a benefit of being certified through Google Small Business Supplier Diversity.
Want to Learn More? Here Is How We Can Help
Reach out to learn about certifications or to book CG Moving for commercial or residential moves.
If you know a small business that might be interested in certification, feel free to reach out and I will share the links and information I have collected over the years.
A quick reminder about what CG Moving does: I can help you move a biotech lab, an attorney’s office, a federal or state agency, or any other commercial office. I can also help with a residential move in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am not a certification expert, but I am passionate about sharing information that can help our small business community grow.
