HUBZone Contractors National Council

Glad to have been a speaker at the HUBZone Contractors National Council Conference 2025 on the panel, “The CMMC HUBZone: The Small Business Guide to Navigating Compliance,” with Megin Kennett CCP and Josh Duvall, CISSP. We shared updates on CMMC and discussed the real-world challenges small businesses face. Appreciated the opportunity to contribute, and great having Clay Mathews and Krystiana Bouchard there representing the Cybersec Investments team. #HUBZone #CMMC #GovCon #Cybersecurity #Compliance #SmallBusiness #CyberSecInvestments

Back at my desk and reminiscing on the Defense Leadership Forum Small Business Contracting Summit and the HUBZone Contractors National Council 2025 Conference. There was great information shared and fantastic conversations were had, all while helping the best clients in the business! (Although, I may be biased 😉.) If we missed connecting while in the beltway, send me a message! I’m always happy to help government contractors, large or small, pursue growth and excellence for a better future. #hubzone #dlf #hzconf25 #governmentcontracting #proposalconsulting Hinz Consulting
