SUMMARY:Third Thursday Think Tank: Winning in Federal Contracting with VIP
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s Third Thursday Think Tank as we spotlight the Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP)\, a nationally recognized training program designed to help veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses succeed in the federal marketplace. \nAs an official SBA resource partner\, VIP provides no-cost\, in-depth training that equips entrepreneurs with the tools\, strategies\, and insights needed to compete\, comply\, and perform on government contracts. Since 2009\, more than 3\,500 veteran-owned businesses have graduated from the program\, collectively securing over $49 billion in federal prime contract awards. \nDuring this session\, we’ll break down how VIP works\, who qualifies\, and how you can leverage its curriculum\, resources\, and professional network to position your business for contracting success. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to scale in government contracting\, this workshop will give you a clear path forward. \n\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED.
