The recipe for sound Federal acquisition calls for two cups of competition, a good measure of transparency, a dollop of oversight, and more than a splash of small business -- all prepared and wrapped in compliance and ethics.  Join AFFIRM and a team of expert Federal acquisition experts for a panel discussion on procurement direction.  What a great way to kick off 2009.  Great content, great networking, and great food -- now that's a recipe for success.
