U.S. General Service Administration Northwest/Arctic Region Office

"Seven Practices of Highly Effective Contracts Organizations"

Please join us….What constitutes an effective organization, a highly effective organization … even, a highly effective contracts organization?  We all wish we worked in that place.  The elements of highly effective come from years of observing and trying different models—often failing.  I would like us to discuss those elements that make our contracts organizations not only serve our companies/agencies well but are also enjoyable to work in.  We’ll probably groan a few times since none of us work in a perfect world.  But, perhaps we can influence some small area of change and leave a legacy of “effectiveness” for those who come behind. 

Attendance certificates with 2.0 hours of training credit will be provided.
