Federal Allies - The Early Days
In 2008 Federal Allies Institute was formed in support of an annual small business trade show requested by the federal government. Requested by the Directorate of Procurement at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall the new trade show, named Washington DC Metro Expo, sought vendors to meet regular needs but also hard to find and unique goods and services utilized at the joint base and nearby Arlington National Cemetery.
Beyond technology and construction, sought were horses and rare antique musical instruments for The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps.
Small businesses from across the nation were sought to register to attend. From Kansas came America’s first entrepreneur to volunteer to help the fledgling association succeed.
