Have you ever wondered what happens to your proposal after you’ve submitted it to a government agency?  How did they score all of your hard work? Or, did they even read your proposal at all? 

If only you had some inside information on how your proposal is evaluated, maybe it could make the difference in receiving the award.  This seminar, “Insider Information:  How Your Proposal is Evaluated” will provide a behind the scenes look into the proposal evaluation process.  Sheree Thomas and LaTammie Bivins, Esq., have more than 30 years of combined experience in government procurement and have participated on countless proposal evaluation committees over the years.  During this seminar, they will review basic procurement principles for professional service contracts, discuss the role of the evaluation committee and the proposal evaluation process, provide sample evaluation worksheets and scoring criteria, and describe how they have evaluated proposals in the past.  The goal of this seminar is to provide you with some Insider Information to help increase your chances of success.
