 .&#13\;\nContact Info: 503-999-5849&#13\;\nEvent Type: advocacy\, educat
 ion\, bizdev&#13\;\n&#13\;\nJoin us for this free event at the Oregon St
 ate Capitol to learn how to position your company for federal &amp\; sta
 te government contracts. Shipley Associates and the Oregon State Procure
 ment Office will have experts on hand to provide insights and answer que
 stions on what can be a bewilderingly complex process.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nRe
 search Drives Us&#13\;\nWe recently took a survey and found that over 63
 % of software decision-makers thought that obtaining a state or federal 
 contract would enable them to hire the most employees. To our surprise\,
  this was more popular than obtaining venture capital\, tax credits or e
 nhanced private lending.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWe Want to Help&#13\;\nSince the
  current economic crisis can be traced back to a lack of jobs\, and sinc
 e the stimulus packages present new job opportunities\, and since we hav
 e federal &amp\; state experts that are willing to help\, we decided to 
 be part of the solution instead of whining about the state of the econom
 y.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOur Trainers&#13\;\nShipley Associates are well-respec
 ted as the best private support for obtaining federal contracts&#13\;\nS
 hipley Associates has:&#13\;\n• Worked with 43 of the top 50 Fortune 500
  companies&#13\;\n• Developed a virtual proposal center for a Fortune 10
  client&#13\;\n• Trained over 30\,000 people worldwide&#13\;\n&#13\;\nTh
 e Oregon State Procurement Office establishes and administers contracts 
 for goods and services on behalf of state agencies\, state universities\
 , select non-profit organizations\, and local governments. They will giv
 e very practical advice for working with the ORPIN (Oregon Procurement I
 nformation Network) system\, which is Oregon's #1 resource for viewing P
 ublic Agency Opportunities.\n\nTags: sao\, tvg\n\nImported from: http://
