Local Business Owners Invited to Virtual Public Informational Meeting
HOUSTON, Nov. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As a part of ongoing efforts to ensure equity and access, Lone Star College engaged Griffin & Strong, P.C. ("GSPC") to conduct a Disparity Study to determine whether there is a significant, statistical disparity between the availability of qualified, willing and able Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB), Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), Veteran Business Enterprises (VBEs), and/or Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and the utilization of such businesses by Lone Star College.
The Disparity Study will gather information necessary to determine whether all qualified firms have the maximum practicable opportunity to compete for and participate in Lone Star College's procurement of prime contracts and associated subcontracts and, if indicated by the evidence, will support the use of strategies to ensure such opportunities.
In the interest of preserving public health amidst COVID-19 concerns, Griffin & Strong, P.C., a law and public policy consulting firm, will conduct (1) one virtual public informational meeting on Lone Star College's behalf. The purpose of this informational meeting is to introduce the Study to the interested public in Lone Star College's marketplace(s) and provide an overview of the Disparity Study process, including how the public can remain engaged.
We encourage your participation and look forward to sharing more insight during the informational meeting of the Study process, and how the community can get involved.
