As the Chair of the Select Majority MWBE Task Force, Senator James Sanders Jr. is holding a meeting with MWBE firms and practitioners in the Rochester area as part of his annual Upstate Tour.
This meeting will take place from 2:00pm-4:30pm on Friday, July 17th at the Public Library Gallery Space (303 Genesee St, Utica, NY 13501). See attached flyer.
The purpose of this conversation will be to improve our leadership and better serve MWBEs across New York State by answering questions and learning about the experiences of Utica-area MWBEs. Our goals are 1) to learn what’s been successful, so we can replicate it, 2) learn what’s caused hardships or struggles, so we can address it, and 3) listen to recommendations of MWBE practitioners.
