There’s no better time to explore one of the federal agencies most committed to supporting them: the Department of Veterans Affairs. \nVA is one of the largest buyers in the federal government\, purchasing everything from medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to IT services\, construction\, and facility maintenance to support the millions of Veterans it serves. And for Veteran-owned and service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses\, VA offers some of the strongest contracting opportunities anywhere in government. But knowing that VA is a big buyer is only half the battle. To compete successfully\, you need to understand how the agency actually works. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll get an inside look at VA’s mission and structure\, what the agency buys\, and how its procurement process works\, including the contracting vehicles and programs that shape how opportunities reach small businesses. You’ll also learn where VA buys\, so you can focus your efforts on the offices and regions that matter most to your business\, and you’ll walk away with practical resources to help you find opportunities and connect with the right people. \nWhether you’re a Veteran business owner taking your first steps into federal contracting\, a company already working with other agencies and looking to expand into VA\, or a business interested in teaming with Veteran-owned firms\, this session will give you a clear roadmap for getting started. Bring your questions\, too. We’ll save time at the end for an open Q&A. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nHow VA is organized and what drives its purchasing decisions\nWhat products and services VA buys most\nHow VA buys\, including key contracting vehicles and small business programs\nWhere VA buys\, and how to target the right offices\nVA resources to help you find opportunities and build relationships\n\nPresented by Network Contracting Office (NCO) 9. \nSpeaker: Darryl Scherer\, Small Business Liaision\, Department Veterans Affairs \n\n\nRegistration Policies:\nAI NOTE TAKERS: The TN APEX Accelerator DOES NOT allow any AI notetaker apps in our meetings and/or webinars due to confidentiality.

SUMMARY:Strategic Focus in 60 Minutes (Oak Ridge)
DESCRIPTION:Date: 11/16/2026\nTime: 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM (EST)\nRegistration Deadline: 11/16/2026 9:00 AM (EST)\nFee: No Fee \nPoint of Contact: Jutta Bangs\nLocation: Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce 1400 Oak Ridge Turnpike\, Oak Ridge TN 37830 \nTraining Topics: Business Development/Capture Management\nDescription: \n\nNetworking from 8:30 to 9:00 AM EDT \nWHAT THIS WORKSHOP DELIVERS \nMost small business owners are running their operations without a written strategic direction\, not because they lack ambition\, but because they have never had a structured opportunity to step back and think clearly about priorities. \nThis workshop gives them that opportunity. In 60 minutes\, each participant works through an honest situational scan\, identifies their single highest-leverage priority for the next 90 days\, and begins building a one-page strategic plan they can actually use. They leave with a committed next action\, a named date\, and a peer accountability partner from the room. \nThe session is interactive throughout\, and anonymous live polling via Mentimeter surfaces the room’s collective thinking on screen; a group scenario exercise warms up the diagnostic muscle before anyone has to look at their own situation\, and questions are welcome at every transition rather than saved for a dead zone at the end. \nSpeaker: Trent Richardson\, Founder & Principal\, Hard Knox Life Advisory \nDr. Trent Richardson founded Hard Knox Life Advisory\, where he helps small business owners move past guesswork and find their highest-leverage move. Before starting the firm\, he built a federal career in high-consequence leadership\, working through the Department of the Interior’s reorganization after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster. He later led the U.S. Geological Survey’s natural hazards portfolio\, including the launch of ShakeAlert\, the nation’s earthquake early-warning system now serving more than 50 million people across the West Coast. He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Policy\, and he believes good thinking beats a thick binder every time. \nOffered by: TSBDC and Stephen W. Williams\, Director of Workforce & Economic Development\, Roane State Community College
