The Masters Institute in Government Contracting is a specially conceived, advanced program in government contracting. We have offered this program for several years and are pleased to once again offer the Institute - completely updated for this presentation. Course Faculty The foundation of the Institute is its exceptional faculty - five professionals who are yours for five days. These individuals will not "teach" you government procurement. Rather, they will take you beyond, delving into areas that have not been fully explored; considering problems to which there may be no immediate, definite answers; proposing strategies that can directly affect your activities. Course Format/Structure Each day will be spent in a variety of ways: lectures; case studies; illustrative examples; group discussions; individual questioning; and considering questions on any procurement subject - not only on matters scheduled to be raised that day. In addition, Institute attendees will receive several manuals of original materials prepared by the faculty. Finally, we believe you will greatly benefit from your association with the other attendees - all of whom are expected to be on your professional level. This Institute is, in short, a unique educational endeavor. In our view, it continues to be one of the most exhilarating procurement programs we offer. We trust your view will be similar. Course Agenda The course agenda has been updated to cover major legislative, regulatory and other policy developments. We will go into depth on a number of topics:
