GKBA April 2026 Power Networking Breakfast

Local Competition Advocate, Strategic Procurement Department – Miami-Dade County

Start your morning with connections, insights, and opportunity at the Greater Kendall Business Association (GKBA) Power Breakfast, one of Kendall’s most popular business networking events.

Each Power Breakfast brings together local entrepreneurs, professionals, and community leaders for meaningful networking and practical insights that help businesses grow.

This month’s guest speaker is Ana M. Rioseco, Local Competition Advocate for the Strategic Procurement Department at Miami-Dade County.

Ana has served in multiple procurement roles with the County since 1987 and is a Certified Professional Public Buyer (CPPB) through the Universal Public Procurement Certification Council. In her current role, she promotes full and open competition in the award of County contracts and works closely with small and local vendors to help them access government contracting opportunities.

Miami-Dade County purchases billions of dollars in goods and services every year, and its Small Business Enterprise (SBE) programs help local businesses compete for those opportunities.

At this Power Breakfast, Ana will share:

• How local businesses can register as Miami-Dade County vendors
• How small business set-asides and local preference programs work
• How companies can position themselves to win County contracts

• High-quality networking with local business leaders
• Practical insights to help your business grow
• Opportunities to learn how to work with Miami-Dade County

Join us for a fast-paced and informative morning that could open the door to new business opportunities.

Seats are limited. Reserve your spot today.
