Are you a Central NC Business that is interested in becoming a vendor to large institutions in your region? If so, come join us to learn how to become a vendor, and to connect directly with purchasers from Central Carolina Community College, Chatham County, Lee County, City of Sanford, and many others. The first two evenings we will cover items like: how to draft a capabilities statement, where to look for vendor opportunities, purchasing/facilities needs of local institutions, processes for becoming a vendor, business support organizations that can help you in the region. The final evening, you will have an opportunity to meet 1:1 with the purchasers and facilities maintenance staff of multiple institutions to identify purchasing/facilities needs that you as a business have the capacity to fulfill, as well as with business support organizations that can help you with your various business needs. Be sure to have your capabilities statement ready for this final evening of networking. Food will be provided all three nights. We look forward to seeing you!
