Small Business Inclusion is AN Equity ISSUE
changing the culture of procurement
Small and local businesses are the foundation of a resilient economy, healthy communities, and thriving families.
WA Dept. of Enterprise Services / DES buys 1+ billion dollars of goods and services every year. Seeking to give more contracts to local and small businesses, the State formed a Business Diversity Advisory Group / BDAG. It's goal is to "change the culture of policy and procurement" by bringing policy and procurement decision-makers to work directly with small business owners on how to do this - through un-bundling, voluntary goals, or mandated directives.
I volunteered on BDAG from 2019-2023. That's me with DES Small Business Diversity Manager, Shana Barehand, Esq.
