Thank You, Texas!

I am back in Lawrence after a trip to the Lone Star State, where I spoke at the Fort Bliss Regional Contracting Industry Day.  My presentation, “The Legal Benefits and Pitfalls of Teaming Arrangements” focused on the upsides and potential drawbacks of teaming and joint venturing on federal set-aside contracts.

A big “thank you” to Joe Conway and the team at the El Paso Community College Contract Opportunities Center for hosting this outstanding event.  And of course, extra thanks to all the government employees, large businesses, and small business owners who attended.

If you weren’t able to make it to the Fort Bliss Regional Contracting Industry Day, you don’t have to be left out.  Just contact me and I would be happy to provide you with a copy of the presentation.

Event: APTAC Spring Conference

I am excited to announce that I will be presenting at the Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers Spring Conference in Atlanta.

The presentation will focus on recent changes enacted in the National Defense Authorization Act, including changes to subcontracting limits, the Women-Owned Small Business Program, federal mentor-protege programs, and more.  I will also discuss other changes on the horizon in 2013.

The presentation will be given on Monday, April 22, 2013.  Attendance is limited ATPAC members.  For more information, contact APTAC.
