Register for the Webinar on Contracting Barriers and Factors Affecting Minority Business Enterprises

On Wednesday, January 18, 2017 the U.S. Department of Commerce, Minority Business Development Agency will release a new report, Contracting Barriers and Factors Affecting Minority Business Enterprises: A Review of Existing Disparity Studies. The report spotlights disparities in state and local government contracting between minority-owned and nonminority-owned business enterprises and provides an in-depth review and analysis of existing disparity studies, summaries, and reports.

Be the first to learn about our newest research report and its implications for minority business and public procurement. Hear directly from the authors (Lee Upton, III and Emma Broming) about the discriminatory behaviors, non-discriminatory behaviors, and lack of network access that give rise to public contracting disparities nationwide.
 
MBDA National Deputy Director Albert K. Shen will expound on the importance of the research findings and recommendations to address contracting disparities.
