Development Report: PWSA Hosts First Business Development Series Workshop

PWSA – in coordination with our Supplier Diversity Program team – recently held the first session in our Business Development Series.

Our Business Development Series is a group of sessions designed to provide information to small and minority-owned business owners, developers, consultants, engineering firms, and contractors regarding PWSA services and regulations.

Our ‘Meet the Team’ event was a huge success, linking up over 30 consultants, contractors, and other attendees with PWSA Engineering Project Managers. Participants used this time to get to know one another better, discuss contracting opportunities, and network. This was especially helpful for subcontractors, who often communicate more directly with the contractor PWSA has selected and have limited line-of-sight to our Project Managers.

We organized this event based on feedback we heard during our Supplier Diversity Program office hours – biweekly virtual Q&A conversations where our team addresses questions around our Supplier Diversity Program. Any vendors interested in PWSA procurement opportunities may sign up here to take advantage of our office hours.

There’s still time to register for any – or all – of the remaining three Business Development Series workshops. Please visit our Business Development Series website to register.
