Municipal officials invited to MMLA program on procurement June 4

The Massachusetts Municipal Lawyers Association is hosting an educational program on June 4 in Worcester on routine and complex procurements from the perspectives of municipal procurement professionals and municipal attorneys.

“Routine Procurements to Complex Projects: Operational and Legal Perspectives” will provide a practical overview of core procurement requirements and common contract administration and compliance challenges.

The program will also address issues related to particular procurements, such as software, and complex capital projects that require more flexible approaches, such as design-build delivery or other non-traditional procurement strategies.

The program is open to municipal officials involved in procurement.

The presenters are:
• Jillian Jagling, partner, West Group Law
• Mary Delaney, chief procurement officer, Fitchburg
• Heather White, principal, Petrini & Associates
• Elizabeth Lydon, senior associate, Mead, Talerman & Costa
• Kenneth Woodland, chief, Bureau of Municipal Finance Law, Division of Local Services, Department of Revenue

The cost is $80 for MMLA members, $75 for MMLA members with five or fewer years of practice, and $90 for nonmembers.

The educational program will be held from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the MMLA Annual Business Meeting.

Registration is available at the MMLA website. In the Registration section, where it asks if you are an attorney, check “law student.”

The event will be held at Assumption University.
