2025 Fly In Recap

Updated: Sep 24

Recap from Ann Sullivan:

Thank you to everyone for attending the fly-in which I thought was very

successful. Here are a few points that stuck with me that I thought I would

share with you.

I was surprised at the candor of the agency folks and found their comments

helpful to give us the lay of the land, given all the changes in

procurement/policy.

With respect to the Congressional speakers, I was struck by the difference in

the timetable between the Trump Administration’s actions which move at

lightning speed and the Congressional timetable which seems eons behind

them. It seemed to me that the Congress is very much in an information

gathering mode rather than feeling the pressure to match the energy of the

Trump Administration.

I expected to hear that the WOSB program could be on the chopping block but

gratefully did not hear that . My number one takeaway was that now more

than ever, the WPC serves a very important purpose. We will continue to

influence how the government buys from us and vigorously pursue policy

changes to increase the government’s contracts to women owned

companies. That’s why we need to keep in front of decision makers.
