USAID West Coast Sponsors Procurement Seminars in Bay Area, Northwest


   The West Coast Outreach Program is sponsoring  seminars for trade
development professionals in three West Coast Cities. Taking place in
the third week of July, they will feature presentations by two of the
USAID's senior agency executives who are knowledgeable about USAID's
procurement process.  Attendees will receive a thorough grounding in
how USAID develops projects and how USAID chooses the products and
services it decides to purchase. The trade development professionals
who attend these conferences will be able to advise their clients on
how and when to market their goods and services to USAID.
   Presenters include Gary Kinney, USAID's Procurement Ombudsman, Kevin
Armstrong, USAID's West Coast Outreach Director, and Michael Segal,
Business Consultant, WCO Portland.  There will be $20 fee for the
half-day conference.
