The Murray Schooner Award
We are honored to recognize outstanding Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses with the annual Murray Schooner award.
Murray Schooner, the "godfather" of procurement who passed away in 2010. The tribute recognized a man who has had a tremendous impact on small business opportunities in the federal marketplace, particularly for VOSBs and SDVOSBs. Thanks to the generosity of FEDMINE.US, we awarded the the first annual Murray Schooner Award to a deserving service disabled veteran owned small business at the 2011 VIB Cnference, and expect to do so again this year.
The recipient will receive more than $5,000 worth of services, including a one-year subscription to FEDMINE.US, valued at $3,950, training/coaching on utilization of the subscription for business development, two tickets to the 2012 VIB conference, and a free year's access to any trainings offered by the Small Business Development Center at CBP.
