RICHMOND, Va. (PRWEB) March 31, 2022 - Newport LLC announces Open Registration for its 2022 Northern VA Cohort of its GovCon Transitioning from Small to Large program uniquely designed for Government Contracting businesses, offered by Newport, hosted by the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce and underwritten by stellar companies in the GovCon growth ecosystem LG-Tek, Offit Kurman, Whiteford Taylor &Preston, CohnReznick, Live Oak Bank, Katz Abosch, Unanet, Republic Capital Access and COPT.

This program helps a select cohort of CEOs and their senior teams in the GovCon space make the transition from small business set-aside contracts to full-and-open competition upon graduation from their 8(a) and other small business categories.

Over a 6-month period, cohorts meet for a morning program, featuring 12 CEO Guest Speakers who have successfully led their companies through the transition. At each of the program modules, two critical aspects of preparing for graduation are addressed. Then, participants work with a Newport facilitation team and subject matter experts to create their companys specific graduation plan. At the end of the program, each company will have created a tailored graduation plan serving as a roadmap for the years up-to and immediately following graduation.

Newports GovCon Transitioning from Small to Large program is a real gem for business leaders looking to maneuver their way through No Mans Land and establish a middle market company. The real-life insights shared by organizations that have completed this journey is truly invaluable states past cohort member, Shezad Habib, President and Managing Director of the Manhattan Strategy Group.

CEO Guest Speakers will include Elizabeth Rendon-Sherman, CEO of LG-Tek; Kevin Jennings, CEO of Millennium Corporation; Shyam Salona, CEO of REI Systems; Michele Bolo, CEO of NT Concepts; Carlos Rivera, CEO of Vsynova Partners; Elma Levy, Chair of Dovel Technology, and more. As one of the CEO Guest Speakers stated: I wish there had been a program like this when I was transitioning to full and open competition.

Registration is now open for the Tysons Corner, Virginia Cohort and is limited to 15 companies and no more than 30 participants. The program provides an intimate setting where CEO Guest Speakers transparently share their stories of toughest challenges and biggest dreams and what the wish they knew then.

Owners thinking of moving into the full-and-open market will see a significant ROI. The risks in graduating are substantial. Leveraging lessons learned from the industrys top mid-tier CEOs is an amazing opportunity, says Newports GovCon Practice Chair Col (Ret.) Ed Rothstein.
