Lynette Spano Will Provide Keynote Address For VAHCC Event

MCLEAN, VA (January 26, 2012) – President and CEO of SCI Consulting Services, Inc., Lynette Spano, will provide expert advice and inspiration to the Virginia business community on January 31, 2012, as the keynote speaker during the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (VAHCC) forum on Business Opportunities with the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The event also includes a panel discussion on procurement opportunities in the Commonwealth led by Will Vehrs of the Virginia Department of Business Assistance, Mark Cartwright of Supplier Diversity for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Anna Urman of the Women’s Business Center of Northern Virginia and Mike Jones of Capital One and the SBA.

“The goal of this event is to inform people on business opportunities with the state of Virginia. We’ve chosen our panel of speakers to provide a wide variety of expertise on this topic. Also, we hope to motivate attendees with Ms. Spano’s own success story as a Hispanic business owner,” said Mary Sirvent, Northern Virginia Regional Director for the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

“This event will be a great opportunity for the local business leaders to connect with their peers, garner real-world advice from the panelists and to hear what I’ve learned as a minority and a female business owner in the highly-competitive arena of Federal IT contract procurement for the past 30 years,” says Spano.

Lynette Spano started SCI Consulting Services, Inc. in her mother’s basement in Brooklyn, NY in the 1980s. Under her leadership, SCI has grown into a $50 million dollar Federal IT consulting company, recognized as one of the most successful female and minority-owned enterprises in America.
