- Virtual Webinar Location
Federal contractors across the Fort Meade region are navigating another cycle of uncertainty driven by continuing resolutions, delayed appropriations, and government slowdowns. To support our community, the Fort Meade Alliance is hosting a timely virtual session that brings together government, industry, financial, and legal perspectives to help companies understand what is happening now and how to prepare for what comes next.
This 90-minute seminar will be delivered in three focused segments:
How We Survived This Before
Leaders from regional companies will share lessons learned from past shutdowns and budget delays. This segment will highlight strategies that helped stabilize operations, retain talent, and maintain customer trust during earlier periods of disruption.
Panelists:
Bill Dunahoo, President, Nexxis Solutions
Mike Hantke, CEO & Founder, Tensley Consulting
Angie Lienert, PMP, President & CEO, IntelliGenesis
What You Should Be Doing Now
Representatives from the Professional Services Council, a leading regional financial institution, and a federal contracting law firm will outline practical steps your organization can take immediately. Topics will include communicating with customers, managing cash flow, navigating contract risks, and preparing your workforce.

Isaias “Cy” Alba, IV, Partner, PilieroMazza PLLC

What Happens Next
Government acquisition experts and major prime contractors will explain how the federal appropriations process works, how dollars flow once the budget is signed, and what companies should expect in the first thirty to ninety days after funds are released. This segment will help you understand award prioritization, task order movement, and subcontractor flow down.
