Procurement Compliance Bulletin
12.07.2021
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones from our team at the Governor's Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs. Thank you for all you have done to keep Maryland OPEN for business. As we prepare for a new year, let's all recommit to Maryland's Small Business Reserve (SBR), Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), and Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) socioeconomic procurement programs. Our collaboration and efforts will equal more spending with the small, minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses, which makes sense, since they represent the majority of business owners in Maryland.

In this role she will collect and analyze performance data, implement best practices, and facilitate training to internal and external stakeholders. She will also enforce regulations in all aspects related to VSBE compliance, recommend strategies for improving overall performance, and lead outreach efforts to engage more veteran entrepreneurs in the VSBE Program. Danielle joined state service in 2010 and has held several positions at Bowie State University, her alma mater, most recently as a financial aid manager. She comes from a military family and currently resides in Anne Arundel County. Welcome Danielle!
