This is your opportunity to introduce us to your staff and highlight what individuals from your firm can contribute to this effort. Please bring a one page biography for each staff member summarizing the relevant skill set. The Department’s presentation will be followed by a general Question and Answer Session as well as individual discussions with potential candidates to be considered for this work.
