In an ongoing effort to address disparities faced by historically underutilized businesses owned by minority, women, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, the City of Tacoma’s Equity in Contracting team is joining forces with the Washington State Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises to organize a business certification workshop and Q&A session. This informative event will take place on June 28, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It will be offered in a hybrid format, allowing participants to attend either in person or virtually.
The workshop aims to assist historically underutilized businesses in gaining certification with the Washington State Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises, a crucial step that enhances visibility and opportunities with prime contractors and agencies throughout Washington state.
