But how do you build past performance and diversify your corporate capabilities as a government contractor? The answer is state and local contracting opportunities.

In this webinar, Govology Faculty Instructor and Procurement Professional Dr. Shana Nicholson explains a step-by-step process for identifying, vetting, and bidding on local and state-level contracting opportunities. This webinar will address the most common challenges, review the requirements for registration and eligibility, and go over the bidding process for your local and state government procurement opportunities.
