would like to be considered for Chapter Officer positions. Elections are
going to be held during our April meeting.

Being a Chapter Officer is a wonderful leadership opportunity, not just
personally but professionally. As a Chapter Officer you are a part of our
professional organization and are able to make a difference not only in
our chapter but in the Tucson contracting community. Nominations
should be forwarded to me no later than 20 March 2015.
Event: March 12th
If you have any questions, please contact a current chapter officer. They
will be happy to answer any questions you may have. The Chapter

February 2015 Event
If you weren’t with us on February 12, 2015 at the Residence
Inn to participate in the workshop on “Current State of Small
Business and the Importance of the Contract Management Role
and Collaboration,” you missed a great presentation. Two
representatives from Raytheon—Bob LaPorte and Joanne
Arvizu and two representatives from the Small Business
Administration—Stephen T. Hart and Shivana Dubey
participated. Two handouts were provided. One was “DoD
Subcontracting Program: The Basics” and the other was a
listing of FAR and DFARS clauses impacting small business
participation. Hope to see you at the March 12th event!
