DUBOIS – The North Central PA LaunchBox and the Partnership for Regional Economic Performance (PREP) will host a webinar in November to explain the benefits that contracting with the federal government can bring to area business. The process of initiating and securing these relationships with government agencies will also be discussed.
This program will be offered by Timothy P. Brown, owner and founder of McAllister, Brown & Associates, a government consulting company that helps businesses strategically penetrate the government marketplace.
A native of McKean County, Brown attended Penn State DuBois before completing a B.S. in finance from Penn State Harrisburg in 2002. He will present the webinar “Business Diversification: Federal Government Contracting.”
He will cover what government contracting is, why all businesses should be interested in the federal government, the federal government budget process, small business and disadvantaged programs and how to get started working with the government.
The webinar will include time for discussion of future webinars that might be of interest to area business owners, as well as Q&A.
Brown explains that the government buys nearly every product or service that the commercial market sells, making opportunities for businesses plentiful and highly diverse.
Brown’s expertise is derived from 29 years in business operations, finance and accounting, analysis, business development, program management, quality assurance, production and executive management for various multimillion and billion-dollar military and contractor-supported programs.
This webinar in planned for 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov.19. To register visit https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6LuVyAmclrewnIN.
