SMPS June Breakfast | Social Equity + Diversity = Good Business

What does it mean to do “good business?” We’ll hear from a panel of leaders in diversity and social equity from major agencies in the state of Washington. We’ll explore current and upcoming changes for contracting requirements for both primes and subconsultants, and the impact to project delivery methods. Finally, we’ll learn how architecture, engineering and construction companies can better partner with public agencies to achieve business equity goals, and have the opportunity to ask the panel your questions surrounding social equity, diversity and inclusion.
