Washington Breakfast Club� - "Leveraging GSA's Mentor Protege Program"

Washington Breakfast Club™ (WBC) is a monthly information exchange which features legislators, agency executives and officials from all branches of federal government presenting on relevant and timely information to interested industry participants.

For the November 2009 WBC we are pleased to welcome our friend Mary Parks of the U.S.General Services Administration who was selected as Deputy Associate Administrator of GSA’s Office of Small Business Utilization (OSBU) effective January 20, 2009.

In her role, Mary manages and oversees GSA's small business policies and programs. The Office of Small Business Utilization strives to expand opportunities in federal government procurement for Small, Disadvantaged, Woman-owned, Historically Under-utilized Business Zone (HUBZone), and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Small Businesses.

For this presentation, we've specifically asked Mary to provide a comprehensive overview of the new GSA Mentor Protege Program (www.gsa.gov/mentorprotege) and how companies can tap this program to grow their business.

The doors open at 7:15 AM for registration and networking with a hot buffet breakfast being served at 7:30. Each attendee will be given the opportunity to introduce him/herself and his/her company. Following this our speaker will present their program and we will turn it back over to networking following Q&A.

The cost of the event is $55.00 for prepaid registration. There is an additional $10.00 fee for onsite registration and payment. No-show's and late cancellations will be charged the full event price.
