Event: Mentor-Protege Roundtable And Book Signing, Hosted By MAGIC

Posted on by

I am pleased to announce that I will be joining the Mid-America Government Industry Coalition for a roundtable on federal mentor-protege programs on March 26-27, 2013 in Midwest City, Oklahoma.

Each program attendee will receive an autographed copy of my book, The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts.  (If you already have a copy, here’s your chance to pick up gift for that special government contractor in your life).  The program will offer lots of important information on federal mentor-protege programs and invaluable networking opportunities–you don’t want to miss it.

If you are a government contractor in the Midwest, you owe it to yourself to attend a MAGIC event and see what this great organization can do for you.  For more information on the March 2013 mentor-protege event, click over to the event’s page on the MAGIC website.

See you in Oklahoma!
