There are now more opportunities for certified EBE to bid on public contracts, increase their capacity and effectively contribute to the City’s economy. This bi-annually workshop is conducted by trained certification analysts who will guide you through the certification process so you can get your application right the first time! The EBE Program certifies businesses owned, operated, and controlled by individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged. The program is designed to promote fairness and equity in city contracting and to level the playing field for these business owners.
