MINORITY & WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

Our Challenge

The City of Orlando's Minority and Business Enterprise Program is designed to ensure equal contracting opportunities for Minority and Women Business Enterprises (M/WBE). We focus on advocacy and providing timely information to our M/WBE's to maximize opportunities for meaningful involvement in all areas of contracting. Our greatest challenge is to continue to educate and provide resources to minority and women owned firms, thus enabling them to become more competitive and self-sufficient.
