How to Do Business with the Port Workshop Series Begins in October

As a port of communities and an economic engine in the region, the Port of San Diego is hosting its annual three-part workshop series, How to do Business with the Port. The workshops are aimed at helping local businesses navigate through the process of becoming a vendor for government agencies like the Port, how to write proposals, and meeting Port project managers. Each workshop focuses on a different part of the process.
