Hewitt, Partner at Protorae Law, PLLC and Jeannette King, President and CEO of SRE, Inc. will both serve the Board by supporting the organization’s activities within the government contracting industry for two years.
“During 2012-2013, SECAF accomplished tremendous growth in terms of membership, quality events and offerings that provided unparalleled value to the Small and Emerging Contracting Community. In an effort to continue on this trajectory and accelerate it, the SECAF board unanimously decided to tap the talents of two exceptional leaders in the Small and Emerging Contracting Community,” said Kwesi Rogers, chairman of SECAF and president of Federal National Commercial Credit.
“We believe that the addition of Devon and Jeannette to the SECAF Board of Directors further ensures that the organization continues to be a valuable resource for its members and the entire government contracting community as a whole,” he said.
