Next Gen Government Contractors Kickoff!
L2 Federal Resources Offices (map)
Hey!
We're very excited to be hosting the kickoff meetup for Next Generation Government Contractors! The purpose of this first meetup will be to introduce all of us (organizers included) to the meetup process, learn a little bit and network.
We have confirmed that Guy Timberlake, Chief Visionary of the American Small Business Coalition will be speaking for about 30 minutes lending his advice on how people new to the contracting industry can learn and engage with industry veterans.
We'll have a little bit of beer on hand, but it would be awesome if people can also pitch in!
After this one, we encourage everyone to suggest meetup topics so that we can host monthly meetups that will be be topic-based and informative. In between the meetups we plan to host, we encourage you to organize happy hours, networking events, or pretty much anything else that seems relevant to people who are new to the government contracting industry.
More info to come soon and thanks for joining!
