Our Minority Certification Program is designed to bridge the gap between minority-owned businesses and the substantial opportunities available through government and corporate contracts. Despite Latino-owned businesses having a slight edge in securing contracts, the challenge remains in the size and stability these contracts offer.

Here’s what participants can expect:

-Personalized one-on-one consultations with a Minority Certification Specialist.-
-Educational workshops aimed at guiding businesses through the certification process.

-Opportunities for networking with peers and industry leaders.

-Access to pre-bid conferences and comprehensive bidding assistance.

Achievements of the Minority Certification and Bidding Program

-Successfully secured certifications for numerous businesses, opening doors to new opportunities.

– Increased the number of members actively bidding on projects, enhancing their competitive edge.

-Facilitated member attendance at pre-bid meetings, crucial for understanding project requirements and expectations.

The program not only aims to build wealth and sustainability by aiding members in obtaining lucrative city/private contracts but also provides specialized support for businesses in underserved communities and those impacted by the justice system. Furthermore, our Chamber of Commerce has established a contract with the city to assist our minority business owners in securing city contracts, ensuring our members receive weekly updates on potential opportunities.
