The catastrophic devastation resulting from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria has caused more than $500 billion in damage in the states of Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and throughout the Caribbean. For minority-owned firms seeking to gain insight into how they can help with disaster recovery and rebuilding efforts, this is a must attend session. You will hear from government executives and key stakeholders who will share information on the state of the economy within their respective regions. You will learn about the programs and resources that are available to help minority-owned firms gain access to the more than $500+ billion in procurement opportunities.
