Click Here to Learn About PCI's discounted Webinar and Virtual Class Series Bundle to Access 6 Different Webinar and Virtual Class Series

Summary

The contracting officer plays a pivotal role in the Government contracting process. She is a required player in contract awards, contract changes, contract terminations and contract disputes. Despite the importance of the contracting officer, contractors and Government personnel alike often behave as if they are oblivious to the need for a contracting officer’s involvement in every stage of the life of a contract. Join Professor Ralph Nash and Tim Sullivan as they discuss the roles and the duties of Government contracting officers, the challenges they face, and the reasons they play such an important role in every Government contract.

Each registration allows for one person to log in. Your team members can join you in a conference room for no additional cost. Additional logins for those located in other offices, working remotely, or otherwise unable to participate with the registrant can be purchased for $50 each.
