Vets First Marching Orders for Procurement

Nov 5 9:00 am — 11:00 am

Event Details

This session is built for veterans and military spouses who want to break into government contracting with good actionable intell — no skuttlebutt.

OUR FEATURED SPEAKERS ARE:

  • Wendy Bray, Program Specialist with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (VA OSDBU). Wendy will share how to do business with the VA and what it really takes to compete.
  • Tron Shephard, Boots to Business Facilitator with the NorCal VBOC, Business Consultant, and former Soldier of the Year. Tron will walk you through SDVOSB, VOSB, and DVBE certifications with straight-talk guidance and tips you can put to use immediately.

Camouflage, cover, and concealment work great in the field — but in small business and contracting, invisibility will cost you. You’ve got to be visible. Join us to learn a proven framework for success with the VA plus insider strategies for standing out, certifying, and securing opportunities.
