TENTH ANNUAL FEDERAL PROCUREMENT SYMPOSIUM The Tenth Annual Federal Procurement Symposium will be held on 22 October 1998, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at the Radisson Hotel, 1001 Third Avenue, Huntington, West Virginia. The Symposium is sponsored by the Huntington District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; National Contract Management Association (NCMA), Southern West Virginia Chapter; Marshall University Procurement Technical Assistance Center; and the Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation Procurement Outreach Center. The purpose of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for small businesses to meet with approximately fifty (50) Federal Agencies, State Agencies, and Federal Government Prime Contractors to discuss contracting and subcontracting opportunities and market their goods and services. In addition, this symposium will enhance the abilities of the Government Agencies and the participating prime contractors to place a reasonable portion of their purchases with small and small disadvantaged businesses by expanding and updating their source/bidders lists. There is no charge to attend the symposium. Concurrent with the symposium, the Southern West Virginia Chapter of the National Contract Management Association will sponsor four procurement workshops. These workshops will be held at the Radisson also and are available to the public at a cost of $15.00 for NCMA members, $20.00 for non-members. Advance registration for the workshops is encouraged.
