In this episode of Game Changers for Government Contractors, host Michael LeJeune welcomes Kindra Dionne, Chief Program Officer of the HUBZone Contractors National Council, to celebrate 25 years of HUBZone progress and preview what’s ahead. Kindra unveils a bold vision for the program, including a new Affinity Group model, a national outreach strategy, and a deeper commitment to workforce development in underserved communities. The 2025 HUBZone Conference (July 21–24 in Chantilly, VA) will feature TED-style talks, industry days, a Capitol Hill fly-in, and a 25th Anniversary Trailblazer Awards dinner. Co-located with the American Small Business Defense Contracting Summit, this event is shaping up to be the most dynamic yet. Whether you’re new to HUBZone or a long-time supporter, this episode is packed with updates and inspiration to help you connect, grow, and make meaningful impact.
