Statewide Contract Holder Post-Award Workshop Series

Golden Gift Consulting, in partnership with the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES), developed this workshop series to help statewide contract holders maximize the value of their contracts and grow their business.

Throughout the series, we cover practical, actionable strategies for contract management, business development, and marketing to agency buyers. Sessions are led by experienced consultants and include real-world insights, tools, and live Q&A to support your success.

Workshops are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month and are offered at no cost to statewide contract holders. Participants receive presentation materials after each session, along with access to ongoing resources and support.

Explore past workshop replays below, and register to join one of the remaining live sessions. If you need additional support, our team is available to provide one-on-one technical assistance to help you move forward with confidence.
