Gayle, along with fellow industry expert panelists Marc Goldschmitt from Goldschmitt & Associates, Mike Vogel from Perspecta, Diana Bass from Hillrom, and Michelle Williams from VieMed, will address ways in which the industry and the VA can work more closely as partners to improve the RFP/RFQ process; resulting in true transparency, clear requirements, better proposals, enhanced competition, fewer protests and ultimately higher quality contracts to serve our veterans. Participants will have the opportunity to submit questions during the event, via chat, to panel moderator Joe Grace, President and CEO of Grace & Associates. Answers to submitted questions will be provided post-event at the [website linked here](https://beta.sam.gov/). To attend, you are required to complete an online registration form, [linked here](https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UI6K-4l7RHC57p_lv1DoiA). Registration is limited to the first 400 registrants and will close at 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday, January 18, 2021.  If you are unable to join this event live, be sure to watch for a follow-up communication that will recap some of the most impactful moments. We would also love connecting with you directly to share our unique vision for solving healthcare interoperability challenges with federal and industry stakeholders - and to continue the conversation around any of your questions or concerns, so feel free to reach out any time.  [Share this blog post on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I+found+this+interesting+blog+post&url=https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/reverseindustryday_jan2021) [Share this blog post on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/reverseindustryday_jan2021) [Share this blog post on LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/reverseindustryday_jan2021) ## Related Articles [![](https://www.bookzurman.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Successful%20diverse%20young%20business%20team%20giving%20a%20victorious%20thumbs%20up%20to%20show%20their%20success%20and%20motivation%2c%20close%20up%20view%20of%20their%20raised%20hands.jpeg?width=700&height=700&name=Successful%20diverse%20young%20business%20team%20giving%20a%20victorious%20thumbs%20up%20to%20show%20their%20success%20and%20motivation%2c%20close%20up%20view%20of%20their%20raised%20hands.jpeg)](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/bookzurman-cognitivemedical-cds-partnership) ## [BookZurman is on the winning team!](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/bookzurman-cognitivemedical-cds-partnership) [BookZurman](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/author/bookzurman) 2020-11-04 [![](https://www.bookzurman.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Gayle%20and%20Kathy2.jpg?width=700&height=700&name=Gayle%20and%20Kathy2.jpg)](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/2019vision-conference-gayle) ## [Team BZ congratulates one of its own - Gayle Grasso](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/2019vision-conference-gayle) [BookZurman](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/author/bookzurman) 2019-10-31 [![](https://www.bookzurman.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/19vision_800x150.png?width=700&height=700&name=19vision_800x150.png)](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/2019vision-conference) ## [BookZurman has a VISION for Health IT](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/2019vision-conference) [BookZurman](https://www.bookzurman.com/blog/author/bookzurman) 2019-10-28 [![BZ-logo-RGB-White-Book-Font](https://www.bookzurman.com/hubfs/logos/BookZurman%20SVG%20Logos/BZ-logo-RGB-White-Book-Font.svg "BZ-logo-RGB-White-Book-Font")](https://www.bookzurman.com/) BookZurman specializes in managing complex program lifecycles that include developing, deploying, and maintaining large-scale, enterprise-wide healthcare IT systems.
