2012 SB TGIC Exchange Brief (click for brief)
Our next TGIC Exchange Brief will be a focus on small business. In particular it will be an examination of those challenges, opportunities and updates on regulations impacting the success in winning and completing contracts in the future. We are fortunate to have congressman Scott Rigell (VA_02) who serves on the Armed forces committee in Washington to discuss some of the issues that have the potential to impact our businesses. In addition he will be listening to comments made by small business owners that come to share their perspective from the audience. This will not be a forum of just showing a series of PowerPoint presentations but an open discussion among government, small and large business to share ideas and provide solutions that can have a positive impact on all.
