I can’t believe we’re just over four weeks away from our 2015 Excellence in Partnership Awards & Fall Training Conference, taking place on the evening of October 21st and all day on October 22nd. This two day event will be held at the Westin Tysons Corner in Falls Church, VA and discounted room rates are available by calling the hotel and using code TJ21AA.
We are thrilled to have the GSA Administrator, Denise Turner Roth, as our keynote speaker for our EIP Awards dinner. Additionally, we will be honoring Carolyn Alston, our dear friend and colleague who retired from the Coalition this past July. Carolyn’s incredible dedication, commitment, and professionalism have defined her entire career and she truly stands as an embodiment of the “Excellence in Partnership” spirit.
Prior to the Administrator’s keynote, we will have a networking reception and silent auction, where last year we raised over $10,000 for our Coalition for Government Procurement Endowed Scholarship Fund. This scholarship fund will financially support a deserving veteran who is concentrating their studies in the field of US Government procurement at The George Washington University. If you have a silent auction donation, please let Matt Cahill know!
The next morning we will jump right into our Fall Training Conference where we will be focused on Acquisition Reform. We have a robust agenda that includes over 30 government speakers and numerous industry experts who will participate as keynotes, panelists, and breakout presenters.
