Free Conference (registration required) on Prescott campus for business owners in Yavapai County who want to do business with the Community College set up; no similar conference announced yet for East side of County
Members of the public who are interested in doing business with Yavapai Community College or the government in general are invited to attend a free conference Friday, March 1, on the Prescott Campus located at 1100 E. Sheldon St. The blog is unaware of a similar conference being scheduled for the east side of the County.
The March 1 morning session runs from 8:30 AM to 12 o’clock noon. The afternoon session runs from 1 PM to 4 PM. The event is being held on the Prescott Campus, building 3 – 119, 1100 E. Sheldon Ave., Prescott. Registration for the conference is required and you must register at eventbrite.com.
Yavapai Community College staff who are participating in the conference include: Sheri Denny, Sr. Procurement Specialist, Becky Goldsmith, Mail, Print & Distribution Manager, and Cassidy Grantham, Accounting Manager.
In a press release, the Community College states that “whether you are a business owner interested in doing business with the College or have had multi-year contracts with the College, this session is for you! We will start the conversation, introduce our staff, and explain the College’s current procurement processes and procedures, including dollar thresholds for different types of solicitations.”
The Community College also says that the afternoon session is “all about government contracting in general (beyond Yavapai College) and is sponsored by Yavapai College’s Small Business Administration Center and presented by the Arizona Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC). This afternoon session is perfect for small business owners who know very little or nothing about government procurement. In addition, you will learn the ins-and-outs of maneuvering the world of government contracts at local, state, and federal levels.”
