Recently, we have reimagined the McPherson Square Business Council into Fed Gov Con Connect, LLC. The primary focus of this concern is to assist small, mid-tier and large companies with obtaining the relationships and training needed to win and to keep Federal Government contracts.The 2022-2023 goal is to host several in person, hybrid (Zoom and in person events) and Zoom or Google Meets occasions for our procurement audience to gain the opportunities they need to be successful in the Fed Gov space.

I work with Danielle Carr (Chapter President) to recruit top level Federal Government procurement associates as speakers and / or trainers for our monthly events.

Direct contact with retired and current federal government procurement personnel in order to enhance the outreach and impact on the members of the National Contract Managers Association. This is an organization comprised mainly of Federal Contracting Officers and professionals.
