2012—The Year of Equity?
The Skanner News Team
September 27, 2012
Every year The Skanner News publishes a special edition devoted to Minority Business Enterprise.This year, however, there’s something different: Equity is breaking out.
After years of advocacy, a string of significant milestones – from audits and investigations to new contracting policies and procedures – may have an impact on an industry that has been resistant to change.
In these pages you will find short profiles of some dynamic individuals in our region who are now the gatekeepers for construction contracting and procurement by government agencies – and we think you will be impressed by what they bring to their jobs.
We are also throwing into the mix some business program tips and information that can help you take your business to the next level.
Whatever your business is – or your dream business – we wish you the best of luck in entrepreneurship. And for all our readers who are looking for goods and services, we want to encourage you to spend your dollars wisely, spend them in our own community, and thank the small business owners who hold up so much of our local economy.
