On Tuesday, June 23, we're conducting a webinar titled, "Understanding and Responding to Government Opportunities." We'll cover how to read a solicitation, how to respond (depending on the type of opportunity), how the government evaluates offers, what to consider for the bid/no bid decision, and tips to help you prepare a winning offer.

As usual, the class is free but advance registration is required at: https://networksnw.ecenterdirect.com/events/1208.

Next Wednesday, April 15, Northwest Michigan APEX Accelerator is hosting a webinar: "Let's Go FAR: Understanding Federal Acquisition Regulations." We'll introduce you to the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations), the federal government's rulebook for purchasing goods and services. It's a complex set of rules, designed to ensure that purchasing is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. Federal agencies and government contractors must follow these rules, and you (as a contractor) should know how to navigate the FAR and how to use it to your advantage.
