“A meeting of partners designed to improve acquisition outcomes for the Fort Knox Community.” That’s the information on the welcome packet I received as one of the presenters/panelists, for the April 11th event, and it seems so simple, right? That’s until you realize the impact of the host organizations, U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC), and U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC). Together, they touch new entrants and re-entrants to military service, the families of our Soldiers, retirees, and veterans. This is why opportunities like the Conversation with Industry are so important. I sat down with with Army HRC Chief of Acquisition and Procurement, Mike Carroll, for an update about the 2024 Conversation with Industry. Time to get fed!
NOTE: To get access to a recording of the livestream from 2024 CWI, reach out to Mike or Kris Saling of the USAREC Innovation Directorate for details.

Being nourished means having what you need to achieve growth, sustain health, and generally be in good condition, and that's why I host this program.
Doing business with the U.S. Government is an opportunity that brings great rewards but can also present severe consequences for buyers and sellers. What many see as a viable business opportunity is directly tied to the well-being and security of our Nation.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.
