Our Mission
Serving the West Sound Contract Management Community since 1989!
The mission of West Sound Chapter 126 of the NCMA, located in
Kitsap County, Washington, is to provide an interactive forum for contract professionals to learn, teach,
disseminate, and improve, not only their individual skills in contracting, but
those of their agency, department and colleagues, and to enhance the public’s
understanding of what we do.
Because most of our members are involved in federal contracting, that
therefore is a primary focus of our endeavors. However, we also provide benefits
in all types of contracting, state, local, private, international, and in all
facets (supply, services, construction, research development) and at all tiers:
government, prime contractor, subcontractor.
To this end, we have monthly meetings with speakers chosen, with the
participation of the membership, for the timeliness and comprehensiveness of the
topics. We also use a website and a monthly newsletter, to solicit views of our
membership and other interested parties and to disseminate information. We
endeavor to assist our members in every way possible to gain greater
certification, to be aware of job opportunities, and to enhance their
professional careers through a professionally and personally rewarding network
of similar professionals.
