Jenny Bowers, President of S.A.M.E. Guam Post, said, “The Guam Industry Forum is a well-established event that brings together the U.S. Military, the Government of Guam, and industry leaders to provide the most current insights that contractors need to successfully support military expansion projects on Guam and in the region. Our third event will be even more insightful and exciting as military projects ramp up. We invite companies to join us for two incredible days of networking and learning.”
