Council members include legal and business leaders in the government procurement community. The GCAC meets in the spring and fall to consider topics of current interest. Over the course of a weekend, Council members will attend a reception, dinner, breakfast, and lunch so that members can get to know one another and other GW Law thought leaders.

Among the many services GW Law’s
Career Development Office provides is the support from an Associate Director who specializes in government contracts law and can assist members with recruitment efforts. In addition, Council members are invited to participate in our Government Procurement Law networking events.

Council members enjoy the use of our state-of-the-art classrooms, conference rooms, and moot court rooms to host a variety of events, ranging from one-on-one meetings to daylong symposia and elegantly catered dinners.

GW Law proudly maintains the best government procurement collection in the world. Each member becomes a “Friend of the Jacob Burns Law Library.” This entitles the firm or company to two library cards, which will allow any member of the organization to gain access to the library, to enjoy expedited interlibrary loan privileges, and to request support from the Law School’s Associate Dean for Information Services.

Each Council member is prominently
acknowledged in Government Procurement Law program brochures widely distributed to prospective and current students, on the Government Procurement Law program website, and through other materials for events produced by the Government Procurement Law Program.

Participation on the Council offers an opportunity to share knowledge with other industry leaders through thought-provoking discussions at the fall and spring meetings, social events, and in more structured activities, such as assisting with scholarship through editing or collaboration, guest lecturing to students, co-hosting government procurement conferences and webinars, participating in smaller group meetings arranged under the auspices of GW Law, and (as needs permit) teaching.
