Do you want to know how you can break into doing business with the government? Join us at our March meeting!

In particular, we will be sharing insights on successful selling techniques and venues that are ideal for Vermont-sized businesses in effectively reaching the public sector.
The panel included Amy Santanello, Sr. Research Analyst, Government Strategies, from Meta Group, Inc.
