Rio Grande Chapter (#042) supports Albuquerque and Central New Mexico area professionals in Contract Management and Procurement.

RGC provides structure for the connection of members at the grassroots level. RGC provides its members current, professional (contract management-related) information at chapter meetings, in newsletters, and Web sites. Chapters help their members achieve certification by assisting with their preparation efforts.  RGC is currently holding its second FAR Study group in two years.  These groups have helped over a dozen members achieve professional certification through NCMA.


RGC educational events are an excellent opportunity for networking. Where else can you sit next to an industry vice president of contracts, or the contracting officer from a federal agency, and have an opportunity to chat over coffee? Networking in person, even in the information age, remains an essential member benefit.  These events also provided continuing education credits for professional development and certification.
