Welcome to the CRTC Blog!

We are excited to launch the CRTC blog to drive continued conversations and connections between CRTC Events and Committee meetings. We will begin with blogs for the Green Markets and Workforce Development Committees and soon expand with a blog for each of the CRTC’s six standing committees.

Thank you for checking it out– we hope you will dive into the conversation and check back often to participate in the Chesapeake Regional Tech network!

CRTC’s B2G Committee Monthly Workshop Series

After a few weeks paralyzed by snow, the B2G Committee is heating up in anticipation of spring.  The committee has crafted a series of Workshops for 2010 to stimulate learning and exchange among members.  Our last workshop featured a thoroughly informative session on contracting with the U.S. General Services Administration (or GSA, for those accustomed to federal acronyms).  Upcoming workshops include presentations on “set-asides,” accounting for government contractors, and marketing for government contractors.  Look for regular updates on the schedule – and join us for useful discussions on how to play the government contracts game.  Presentations are moderated by a B2G Committee member, and everyone within the CRTC community is welcome.

The B2G Committee is chaired by Kevin E. Lancaster, Managing Partner of The Winvale Group, LLC, a CRTC Platinum Sponsor.  We encourage members who are government contractors or aspiring government contractors to check out our Workshops and other committee events.

We meet the second Wednesday of every month in the CRTC offices: 2660 Riva Road, Suite 200, Annapolis, Maryland 21401.  Meeting times: 4:00-5:00 (give or take a few minutes).  The Chesapeake Regional Tech Council, the area’s fastest-growing tech organization.
