BRAC Business Alliance announces impact symposium
The Quantico/Belvoir Regional Business Alliance announced will host a Workforce and Industry BRAC Impact Symposium on June 30 at the Holiday Inn Quantico Center, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be held in partnership with the Prince William Regional Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations. The expansions at Fort Belvoir and at Quantico Marine Corps Base will add more than 20,000 new jobs, and close to eight million square feet of new facilities. This will create massive construction contracts, and later, a host of new jobs, inside and outside the gates.The symposium will feature presentations by federal officials responsible for awarding construction contracts at Fort Belvoir and Quantico Marine Corps Base, as well as some of the prime contractors who will be doing the work. These and other presenters will explore:
· Plans for upcoming major construction projects at Fort Belvoir and Quantico MCB
· Timing and procedures for awarding contracts
· The types of industries likely to be impacted by the BRAC mandated buildups
· Tips on how to gain business with major contractors
· Information on where and how to find new opportunities, including Alliance resources
This event is open to businesses in the Prince William, Stafford, Fairfax and other parts of Northern Virginia. The day will include sessions on construction and other industries, introductions to key officials, profiles of the kinds of jobs and business opportunities that will arise, and opportunities to network with business, government and community leaders.
The Workforce Impact Symposium is envisioned as the first in a series of workforce and industry BRAC impact events. A $45 registration fee includes lunch and materials. Reservations may be made by contacting Lynn Andresen at the Region’s Chamber at (703) 590-5000, ext. 101 or landresen@RegionalChamber.org.
