Syrus Global to Offer Webcast on Doing Business with the Government

Syrus Global will offer a one-hour webcast for clients and friends on February 25th on the topic of doing business with the U.S. government. Maribeth Vander Weele , President of The Vander Weele Group, will be the featured presenter. Alice Peterson, President of Syrus Global will introduce and facilitate the discussion.

Our Federal Government will spend an estimated $550 billion more this fiscal year than last, and with the economic stimulus discussions changing daily, who knows where that number will end up. Companies that are prepared stand to benefit from this opportunity. Working with the government requires a different set of expectations and rules than business in the private sector. Companies seeking government contracts as well as those already doing business with the government must be prepared to meet these expectations.

Maribeth brings the experience and perspective of a federal vendor who has navigated the intricacies of federal contracting. Webcast topics will include:

• Some of the less well-known pros and cons of doing business with the government
• High-level vendor requirements
• How to research and identify government opportunities
• How the government awards contracts
• The role of small business participation
• How to build relationships with government agencies
• Resources for government vendors
