off its "breakfast with Primes" with two
networking events in October and November
TBD. These events will be held
every month starting in January 2011, providing a

subcontractors the ability to build relationships
with the Prime contractors, thus, making it easier
to understand what the Prime is looking for
in a bid proposal and for the Prime to
develope a working relationship with the
subcontractor. The subcontractor will also benefit
from knowing about future projects the Prime may
have. The breakfasts will
be Free to RMMCA

charged an admittance fee. Non-members can
become RMMCA members and enjoy
these beneficial networking events for
