Special Recognition for Northwest Michigan PTAC Procurement Counselor

A Northwest Michigan PTAC procurement counselor has received special recognition from the Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI). Don Makowski received the WPI’s Silent Partner Award in recognition of his passions, dedication, and commitment to the development of the federal contracting community. Makowski received the award at the End of Year Federal Contractor Update in Milwaukee. The award acknowledges the several dozen government contracting events the Northwest Michigan PTAC and the WPI have collaborated on over the past eight years.
