SUMMARY:Part 3: Procurement Certifications\, Proposals & Access to Capital
DESCRIPTION:You’ve found the opportunity—now it’s time to seal the deal. The final phase of the procurement journey is about credibility\, precision\, and the financial “fuel” to cross the finish line. \nIn this closing session\, we tackle the “Big Three” of contract execution: getting certified\, writing the winning proposal\, and securing the capital needed to perform. We’ll demystify the alphabet soup of certifications (MBE\, WBE\, DVBE) and show you how to price your services so your “win” is actually profitable. \nYour Competitive Edge: \nWalk away with a clear execution plan. You’ll know how to validate your business through certifications\, submit high-quality proposals\, and ensure your finances are ready for the big leagues. \nPresenter: Cristina Espiritu (PACE Procurement Manager) \nCristina Espiritu\, a distinguished professional with a dual JD/MBA degree from Penn State University\, brings over two decades of experience in finance\, strategic consulting\, contract negotiation\, procurement and business and asset valuation.
