- RELEASE: 92-230
-
- NASA NAMES MINORITY BUSINESS RESOURCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
- MEMBERS
-
- NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced the
- names of the Chairman and 23 members selected to serve on the
- newly-formed NASA Minority Business Resource Advisory
- Committee.
-
- The committee, comprised of members of the business
- community, will help NASA identify more small, disadvantaged
- and women-owned firms which potentially could do business
- with the space agency. NASA has a goal of awarding 8 percent
- of its contracts to small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) by
- the end of fiscal year 1994.
-
- "This committee will help disprove the notion that there
- are no high-tech small and disadvantaged businesses. We know
- they're out there, and we'll find them and nurture them
- because we want to work with firms that have the desire to
- reach for the American dream," Goldin said in announcing the
- committee last September.
-
- The committee's first meeting is tentatively scheduled
- for Jan. 26, 1993, at NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C.
- All regularly scheduled meetings will be open to the public
- and will be announced in the Federal Register.
-
- Goldin selected Henry Wilfong as Chairman of the
- committee. Susan Borgo, a NASA Headquarters employee, is the
- Executive Secretary.
-
- Wilfong is the former Associate Administrator for the
- U.S. Small Business Administration; a former member of the
- Presidential Task Force on International Private Enterprise-
- Agency for International Development, U. S. Dept. of State;
- and former City Councilman, Pasadena, Calif. He is a
- Certified Public Accountant and owned a CPA firm from 1963-
- 1983. He currently is President of Wilfong and Co., a small
- businesses consultant.

- available from the NASA Headquarters Newsroom by calling
- 202/358-1600. Contact Susan Borgo at 202/358-2085 for
