Dealing with Anxiety & Depression
Fear and sadness are normal reactions to events and circumstances that create stress for us. However, when anxiety attacks become frequent and low moods are more severe and tend to persist, there is reason for concern. In this webinar, the presenters will talk about how anxiety and depression has effected them and their family members. All three presenters will share personal experiences in the hope that you and others you know can benefit from them. None of the three presenters are qualified mental health professionals; so, no one should attend this webinar with the expectation that they will be given professional guidance. Questions are welcome and encouraged during the webinar.
Speakers: Dr. Stephen B. Gordon, CPPO, Ph.D., FNIGP, Norma Hall, CPPO, CPPB, FNIGP, CPM and Darin Matthews, CPPO, CPSM, FNIGP, C.P.M.

Among other things, agencies can expect to see greater demand for cloud-based options for securely receiving and evaluating bids and proposals. Luckily, cloud-based eProcurement solutions can enable remote teamwork and cooperation while increasing vendor participation.
