VA entrepreneur event set for Washington Conference

The Department of Veterans Affairs will host an "Opportunity Showcase" on Feb. 25 at The American Legion's Washington Conference for attendees of the Legion's Small Business Workshop.

The event, hosted at the Washington Hilton, will welcome industry experts and successful veteran entrepreneurs from the public and private sectors to discuss best practices in working with VA and bidding for contracts from VA.

Topics at the event will include federal procurement, business opportunities with VA and the federal government, and the technical qualifications a firm needs to work with the federal government. Presentations will be given by Scott Sands, Network Contracts Manager for VA, and representatives from the Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Services Network.

Attendees will also receive free one-on-one guidance on the above workshop topics. Lunch and networking sessions will also be provided.

The event is cohosted by the Legion's Veterans Employment & Education Division. To register, email the names of the attendees and the business name to Doris Grooms at dgrooms@legion.org or click here.
