Washington, D.C. - Today George Meyers, Managing Partner of
the Meyers Group, shared his optimistic view of the federal budget as a
panelist at the Air Forces Communications & Electronics Association’s Women
in Northern-Virginia Chapter’s FY14 Federal Landscape event.
Mr. Meyers was joined by Lucian Niemeyer, a retired Senior
Staffer of the Committee on Armed Services for the U.S. Senate and Sharon
Jones, the Director of Small Business Programs at DISA.
“I was delighted to discuss the opportunities and areas of
growth my team and I have identified within the Federal budget with the members
of this prominent organization,” Mr. Meyers said. “With our shared intimate
knowledge of the federal acquisition process, Lucian, Sharon and I were able to
touch on all the factors that impact a company’s federal sales. After the
passage of the omnibus spending bill, we all agree it’s a great time to be
working with the federal government.”
Among the topics discussed included how the budget process
is far from returning to the regular order of individual appropriation bills. Mr. Meyers said that his firm has successfully
used Congress’ unorthodox budget measures, such as continuing resolutions, to
their clients’ advantage. For instance,
continuing resolutions give businesses the time to shape opportunities before
the come to fruition, thereby increasing the chance that they will win the
award.
The private event was attended by nearly 40 members and
perspective members, which range in business size from 8a(s) to some of the
largest defense contractors. NOVA is the
largest chapter of this international nonprofit professional association.
