Two session series in which attendees may choose one or both to attend depending on level of interest. Registrations after 12/2/2021 are accepted via email at ptac@gmu.edu until the date of the second session. We hope you will join us!

This series of carefully designed sessions addresses the basic compliance and business management processes and tools valuable to the small and emerging government contractor as well as the larger more established organizations.
