A Workshop and Networking Evening with the Co-Founders of The Pulse of GovCon

The Loudoun GovCon Initiative is pleased to invite you to an exclusive evening with two of the federal contracting industry’s premier thought leaders—Amber Hart and Lisa Shea Mundt, Co-Founders of The Pulse of GovCon—at Lark Brewing on October 15th.

This dynamic event begins with a hands-on workshop led by Amber Hart and Lisa Shea Mundt, architects of the BD 360° methodology and authors of the forthcoming book BD 360°: A New Spin on Federal Sales.
