Contractor Advice Forum

The Contractor Advice Forum (CAF) is a unique value-added service for SECAF member companies.

The goal of the CAF is to engage the contracting community in a learning environment. Two primary segments will be addressed with established experts serving as resources for commonly sought questions:

• “Ask the C-level” segments will be peer-to-peer sessions entitled “Ask the CEO/President” and “Ask the CFO” and will allow member CEOs and CFOs to ask questions directly to their designated CAF CEO/President and CFO Advisors.

• “Functional Best Practice” segments will consist of CAF Advisors in the following specialty categories of expertise: Information Technology, Human Resources, Mergers & Acquisitions, Financing, and Business Partnering/Market Penetration.

Advisors have been pre-selected and pre-qualified to serve as expert sources based on their area of expertise, their availability to give back to the community, and their years in service. A SECAF Dispatcher will control the flow of questions and answers between the experts and member companies, to ensure a 48-hour response time around topics of interest.
