Please be advised that the Virginia Ship Repair Association’s Contracts Committee Seminar, "Small Business Panel Discussion," originally scheduled for Wednesday, October 8, 2025, has been postponed.
This difficult decision was made due to unforeseen emergency circumstances with our scheduled panelists, including impacts from the federal government shutdown, which prevent them from participating at this time.
We are actively working with the Contracts Committee to reschedule this event. A new date will be announced as soon as it is confirmed, at which point registration will reopen. All currently registered attendees will be contacted directly regarding their registration.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
