Julie Irvin, President and Owner of Keystone Resources, facilitated a training session for the University of Houston HUB Operations Department on “How to Write a Compliant Solicitation Response”. It was one of our most highly attended trainings to date! The presentation was very informative and filled with witty expressions that will help vendors remember key points when they begin to prepare their solicitations. We highly recommend that vendors reach out to Julie at Keystone Resources who provides a wealth of information, expertise and professional guidance!

Julie taught her class with excellence and competence. She worked to discover the specific needs of her audience, and then tailored the content to fit those needs and ensure that everyone walked away with answers to the questions they came with. She was able to actively engage with both the experienced professional and the novice beginner, never making either one feel bored or confused. I would certainly go out of my way to attend another one of her events.
