I am incredibly honored and grateful to have completed the 3-Day Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP) Training, sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), held at the beautiful Bolger Center in Potomac, MD.
This experience was more than just training—it was intensive, eye-opening, and transformational.
Over these three days, I gained:
✔️ A deeper understanding of federal government contracting
✔️ Clarity on what I didn’t know (those real ah-ha moments)
✔️ Insight into areas where I need to improve, strengthen, and refine
✔️ A roadmap of what I need to fix, build, and implement to be fully ready
There were powerful discussions, excellent questions, and shared experiences from fellow veteran entrepreneurs that truly elevated the learning environment.
What stood out the most?
👉 Realizing that preparation at this level requires precision, structure, compliance, and strategy—not just passion.
This training challenged me, stretched me, and confirmed that I am on the right path—but also showed me the next level I must rise to.
As the founder of Cynitra Information Systems LLC, I am committed to applying everything I’ve learned to:
🔐 Strengthen our federal contracting readiness
🔐 Enhance our cybersecurity solutions for government and underserved communities
🔐 Continue our mission of Protecting Our Vulnerable
This is just the beginning.
To everyone I connected with—mentors, instructors, and fellow veterans—thank you for the knowledge, the push, and the inspiration.
And yes… we graduated 🎓✨
