Official observation of Women’s Equality Day is August 26, commemorating the day the U.S. Congress passed the 19th Amendment, giving women across the nation the right to vote. The event included workshops and opportunities to network, along with guest speakers and a live recording of the DSS Office of Equity and Inclusion’s GRIEA Project podcast: https://lnkd.in/e-suj8iD

New York City’s NYC Department of Social Services, NYC Human Resources Administration, and the NYC Department of Homeless Services deliver billions of dollars in goods and services each year. Many of our programs are delivered directly by our employees, but much of the work we do is in partnership with our Human Service Providers, Non-Profits, and Community-Based Organizations. Our M/WBE Program Team works closely with these organizations to build contract pipelines that offer opportunities for the City’s Minority- and/or Women-Owned Business Enterprises to join us in our shared mission to support those in need. Matchmaking is one of our most important tools for supporting local business development and bringing M/WBEs into the service of our client community. In this month’s M/WBE In the Mix, we meet Alyssa Sanchez-Cook of Samaritan Daytop Village, Inc. who understands the value of a good conversation. If you’re an M/WBE, or think you might qualify for certification, please email us at [email protected] or visit our M/WBE Resource Page at https://lnkd.in/gaKF7NPe. We’d be happy to connect you with information about resources, upcoming events, and opportunities to contract with us and our partners.
