Department of Defense (DoD) large prime contractors and small business participants in the DoD Mentor-Protégé Program will join with representatives from the DoD on March 8-11, 2010 at the Mentor-Protégé Conference being held at the Gaylord National in National Harbor, MD.  Additional information regarding this conference will be posted as it becomes available.

This year’s conference will feature distinguished guest speakers and sessions focusing on building the company infrastructure, small business opportunities, company growth, strategic partnerships and the importance of return on investment, just to name a few. On Wednesday, March 10, we will feature the presentation of the prestigious Nunn-Perry Awards at an awards ceremony named in honor of former Senator Sam Nunn and former Secretary of Defense William Perry.  These awards honor the outstanding Mentor-Protégé teams that are working toward becoming successful contributors in the defense of this great Nation.
