GSA Business Roundtable



Sequestration.

The beginning of a second presidential administration.  

New leadership in key GSA management positions.

There has never been a better time for a robust exchange between GSA and industry about the government and commercial markets and GSA’s role in helping agencies fulfill their critical missions while lowering the cost of Government.

Join The Coalition for Government Procurement for a roundtable discussion of the General Services Administration’s $60 billion+ contracting portfolio.  GSA oversees the business of the U.S. federal government and provides workplaces for federal employees.  GSA’s recently revised mission statement and how those changes will affect GSA customers and your contract will be the focus of the event.

The Business Roundtable brings together key players from GSA and industry to discuss the changing landscape.  The discussion will focus on GSA’s recently revised Mission Statement and how that statement will affect GSA programs.  The GSA Administrator, the Commissioners of GSA Federal Acquisition and Public Building Services and the Chief Acquisition Officer are invited to make presentations on the GSA mission statement.   Leaders of GSA acquisition and program management offices and industry representatives will participate in roundtable discussions.

Invited Key Speakers Include:

Dan Tangerlini – GSA Administrator

Tom Sharpe – Commissioners of GSA Federal Acquisition

Dorothy Robyn – Public Building Services

Anne Rung – Chief Acquisition Officer

Leaders of GSA acquisition and program management offices will also participate in the roundtable discussions.
