About the Program:
Success in winning dollars from the Federal Government is dependent on two things understanding the politics and understanding the process. Why do some companies succeed and others do not?
Those that do
1. Understand the politics, personalities and priorities of Washington
2. Understand the procurement process and the Federal market
Marquette University and the Wisconsin Procurement Institute are pleased to host this unique program that will bring together the experts from Washington and the Midwest to share their insights, knowledge and experience.
