Washington D.C., May 12, 2010 — Gloria Berthold Larkin has been named to The Daily Record’s Circle of Excellence, a distinction earned by being named one of Maryland’s Top 100 Women three times.
The Daily Record’s annual list of Maryland’s Top 100 Women was created to recognize outstanding achievement by women as demonstrated through professional accomplishment, community leadership, and mentoring. The Circle of Excellence is awarded for sustained achievement. Since 1996, The Daily Record has recognized more than 800 high-achieving Maryland women who are making an impact in the state through its Top 100 Women and Circle of Excellence awards.
“As Top 100 Women celebrates its 15th anniversary, all of us at The Daily Record continue to be proud and honored to conduct this important event,” says Christopher Eddings, publisher of The Daily Record. “We commend Gloria and are proud to recognize her as one of The Daily Record’s Top 100 Women.”
Larkin’s achievements continue to be recognized across the state, most recently by Maryland’s Small Business Association, which named her a 2010 Women in Business Champion. Gloria’s recognition stems directly from the success of TargetGov, her full service marketing company which specializes in government contract procurement, and her active involvement with minority small business owners, women in particular; Larkin also serves as the Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) National Procurement Committee CoChair.
“While I’ve worked hard to get TargetGov where it is today,” Larkin said, “a true measure of success is found in our clients and how successful they are. The fact that we help them reach their goals means we are doing a good job.”
In order to qualify for The Daily Record’s Circle of Excellence, honorees must have been named to the Top 100 Women list two previous times. Larkin’s previous recognitions came in 2004 and 2007. As with Top 100 Women, nominations are solicited from economic development agencies, women’s organizations, chambers of commerce, and the business community at large.
A panel of judges comprised of business professionals and past Top 100 Women winners from across Maryland review all of the applications; they are asked to be extremely selective when it comes to the Circle of Excellence. Judges look for continued involvement in all key areas – professional accomplishment, community leadership, and mentoring – with a demonstration that each nominee is still actively involved and proactive.

TargetGov Instructs the Art of Creating a Powerful Capability Statement with Latest Teleconference
Updates Added to Address Demands of Doing Business with the Federal Government
May 3, 2010 Washington DC. TargetGov will host its widely renowned national teleconference “How to Create a Power Capability Statement” Thursday, May 13th 2010. Gloria Larkin, President of TargetGov will teach new, updated information regarding capability statements now required by government agencies, with additional insights discussed related to decision-maker meetings. The hour-long updated teleconference also includes: the three types of capability statements, when to use and not to use a capability statement, the five key elements of a powerful capability statement, the common mistakes to avoid as well as several other tips for success.
The United States federal government is the world’s largest customer for all goods/services and doing business with them requires more than just attention to detail but an actionable strategy not built for commercial sales but specific to government procurement. A capability statement is one of the most influential documents for building a relationship with government agencies; consequently opportunities have been gained and lost for small business as a result. Mr. E. Sherman (a past attendee) said that “It was well worth listening to. I am going to change my Capability Statement... Great advice and material covered.” In addition to the information offered during teleconference, an exclusive 60 page Toolkit is available with registration. Ms. C. Hashim, a past attendee, says about the Toolkit “…The ideas given on setting up the core competency section were the most useful for us. They were ones that we had overlooked…The template was very helpful and, obviously, all the contacts listed are wonderful!”
The live teleconference, “How to Create a Power Capability Statement” will be held nationwide on Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 1:00 pm EST, 12:00 am CST, 11:00 am MST, and 10:00 am PST. Accompanying the session is the all-inclusive, 60 plus page toolkit detailing the dos and don’ts for effective capability statements, all for the fee of $87.00. All program participants are required to register on the TargetGov Website: http://www.targetgov.com/.
Gloria Berthold Larkin is the President of TargetGov and the National Procurement Committee Co-Chair for Women Impacting Public Policy. She is an expert at government procurement and related business development and marketing services. Larkin was most recently awarded the 2010 Maryland Women in Business Champion of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration and a Maryland Top 100 Women Award by The Daily Record.
