GovCon Reading List: June 2024

GovCon Reading List: June 2024

Federal government contracting is challenging. Expert insights can help!

It's June, and it's time for the annual gala in support of the Elizabeth B. Ballard Center, the local nonprofit where I volunteer eight-ish hours most weeks and serve on the board of directors. When people ask what I "do" in my post-attorney life, I always mention the Ballard Center as one of my primary commitments, but since it's not connected to government contracting, I rarely receive any follow-up questions.

That's a shame because volunteering for Ballard, which provides early childhood education and needs-based wraparound services to children and families in my community, is very important to me. I only wish I had started giving my time earlier. Sure, eight hours a week may not have been entirely realistic in my lawyer heyday, but everyone has some free time. I know many of my readers already give back, too, and if you don't yet, I hope you'll consider it--I know you'll find it every bit as rewarding as I do. (And if you're wondering where to start, well, the Ballard Center gladly accepts donations!)

On to the government contracts! Every month in this newsletter, I publish the GovCon Reading List, a hand-picked selection of the previous month's best expert-written articles on federal government contracting. June's collection includes articles on the shockingly (to me, at least) low usage of woman-owned small business set-aside and sole source vehicles, a look at how the Federal Trade Commission's recent ban on most non-compete agreements may affect the government contracting marketplace, tips on how to spot those nasty govcon con artists, and much more.

Let's get to it with the June 2024 GovCon Reading List!

That's a wrap for this month's edition of the GovCon Reading List. See you in July!
