Hello everyone!

We try to bring you interesting information in every newsletter, and this time our job was easy! I would like to thank the National Dialogue on Entrepreneurship for a number of the stories. When they print the Summer Book List, we will make sure to share it with you. The movie noted in the "Film Highlights Entrepreneurial Spirit of Youth" rekindles one's faith in the fresh minds of our young entrepreneurs. I hope you enjoy it.

Many have asked for a comprehensive in-person workshop combining an introduction and advanced session in government contracting. We listened! Look in the left column for details. 

And, as always, let me know how we can help you increase your sales to government agencies, prime contractors and other businesses. We are here to help you!

All the best,

 

 BRAC

TargetGov Teleconferences
 
 Accounting for Government Contractors
 
May 22, 2008 Thursday, 1:00 to 2:00 pm EST
 
Most government contractors do not consider their accounting needs until after they win a contract. This can be a recipe for disaster. Successful companies know what is required to satisfy special government contract needs and prepares upfront - even before preparing the proposal!
 
Register for this TargetGov Teleconference for the most informative time you can spend and save yourself frustration and worry about pricing and audits!
