Small Business Engagement Committee

The ITE Met Section has initiated a new committee called "Small Business Engagement Committee" who is charged with providing a platform and support to Small, Disadvantaged, Minority-owned and Women-owned businesses (D/M/W/S-BE's).

The charge of the Small Business Engagement Committee is to:

1. Nurture conversations with Public and Private entities in supporting and guiding S/D/M/W-BE's.
2. Provide visibility of D/M/W/S-BE firms in ITE National/ ITE Met Section and the Transportation Industry
3. Provide a community for current and future D/M/W/S-BE firms.

To get off to a strong start in 2020, we will kick-off a new program at the January 23rd Past Presidents' Night/Awards Night. When registering for the event, certified (or certification pending/planned) firms will have the option to register as such, which provides a couple of perks.

First, we will provide unique name tags for the event identifying D/M/W/S-BE firms.

Second, when registering you can provide a 1-3 sentence bio of your firm. We will compile all of the firm bios in a one-page handout that will be provided to attendees with the event program.

We strongly encourage your participation in this program, and we look forward to seeing you! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please contact Warren Michelsen (wmichelsen@enovateengineering.com) or Justin Healey (jhealey@navjoyinc.com).
