Association of Women and Minority Businesses (AWMB) Inaugural Virtual Meeting Part 2

The Association of Women and Minority Businesses (AWMB)’s mission is to increase the net worth of women and minority businesses while advocating with organizations we engage and do business with for diversity, equity, inclusion, and transparency.

It is an organization that serves as an accelerator, incubator and amplifier for women, minority and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) owned small businesses.

Founded on the premise for a more coordinated approach and bridging the gap in serving a wider network of underserved businesses in the contracting community.

AWMB board members come from various backgrounds, industries and extensive experience advocating for small, women and minority owned businesses throughout their careers and the uniqueness of the common passion and faith in BIPOC small businesses.

Presenters:

Port of Seattle, Director of Diversity in Contracting, Mian Rice to present about Infrastructure Funds, Goals & Initiatives for Women and Minority Businesses

City of Seattle, Deputy Director, Nonila Masmela to present a Pilot Program with the City’s Surplus Warehouse under the City’s Race and Justice Initiative which is geared
