On August 11, 2018 vifGA and magnifiers.com will attend the annual Vendors Training Conference being held at the Atlanta Hilton NE.
Blind vendors enjoy coming to the trade show to learn new products to enhance their business.
The Business Enterprise Program (BEP), one of six divisions in the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GRVA), provides business management opportunities for eligible and qualified people to become licensed blind vendors so they may operate various food service and vending operations throughout the state.
The BEP was authorized by the federal Randolph-Sheppard Act of 1936 and was established in Georgia in 1944. It is recognized as the State Licensing Agency (SLA) and has priority for operating businesses on federal property and may also operate sites on other properties. Sites include snack bars, cafes, cafeterias, coffee bars, food courts, gift and sundry shops, military dining facilities, vending routes, interstate rest areas and welcome centers.
