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. The PTAC and WPI have more training events scheduled to work on together during 2019.  

The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
