As part of its ongoing work to address disparities for historically underutilized businesses owned by minority, women, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, the City of Tacoma’s Equity in Contracting (EIC) team is hosting a workshop on resources available through the Washington State Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprise (OMWBE).

• An overview of the City’s EIC Program
• Training and overview about the OMWBE certification process
• What documentation is required and accepted by the OMWBE
• Tips on how to successfully complete an application
• How to connect with staff at the City and OMWBE
• One on one support and ongoing follow-up

Participants will have an opportunity to begin or complete their OWMBE application to becoming a certified business and are encouraged to bring electronic devices.

Join us for a comprehensive Zoom or in-person hour-long workshop, with an optional 30-minute Q&A period with staff from the OMWBE and Equity in Contracting Program.
