21. Do the region’s M&S small businesses need a coordinated, common voice? • Yes? • No? • If yes, how and by whom? • Point brought up in recent BOA meeting • There is not a lot of coordination of small businesses in Virginia • There is not a common voice for the small business M&S industry segment • How should all of these interactions come together • It is hard in this environment for small businesses to start up • If valid, need someone/some people with the drive, business savvy, and resources to do this • If so, what would they be expected to accomplish?

22. Working with VMASC • You get out what you put into it • Get to know the researchers • They have constraints with what their money can be used for • They may have IP that can be taken to market • Are you in the right position to take it to market? • Participate • The association is only as good as the sum of its members efforts
