Albany-Dougherty area businesses can attend a double-header on Wednesday, Sept. 9th!

This double-header isn’t about baseball.  But if you want to learn the most important steps to take to win a government contract and the most important section of a government bid document, our double-header is the place to be.

From 10 until 11 a.m., you can attend our class entitled “Fundamentals of Working with the Government.” This class is for newcomers to the government contracting arena — or for anyone who needs a refresher on the actions you should take and the things you need to have in place in order to effectively compete for government contracts.

Then, from 11 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., you can attend another terrific class – “Preparing Successful Bids and Proposals.” This class is perfect for anyone who is looking for tips and instruction on how to prepare a bid or proposal to a government agency.  Special instructions will be given on bidding on City of Albany and Dougherty County contracts.   Details about state and federal contracts will be covered, too.

PLEASE PRE-REGISTER because we will be serving a light lunch and we need to have an accurate count in advance of these classes.  Both classes and the lunch are absolutely free.

If you need help with registration, please call Bridget Bennett, our Albany office coordinator, at (229) 317-4707.
