At least you make it look like you are trying? Here’s the problem the minorities that you work with are so happy to be noticed by JE Dunn they think there probably privileged? YOU DONT REQUIRE MENTOR PROTEGE, NO CHECK IN TO MAKE SURE MINORITY SUB CONTRACTORS ARE PAID CORRECTLY. NO RESONABLY SEGMENTED PROJECTS DOWN TO $300, 000.00 SO THAT MWBE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO HANDLE THEREFORE NO DEVELOPMENT AND FORCING NEW MINORITY BUSINESS OUT OF BUSINESS. BUT BUNDLING YOUR PROJECTS TO MAKE IT EASY FOR JE DUNN BUT CREATING BARRIERS FOR MINORITIES. BLACK AND BROWN CONTRACTORS DONT TYPICALLY HAVE INHERITANCE CAPITAL TO COMPETE WITH CAUCASIANS DUE TO FORMER LEGALIZED SEGREGATION. SHOW YOUR HISTORY OF THE DOLLARS AWARDED TO CAUCASIAN CONTRACTORS VS. BLACK & BROWN CONTRACTORS?? Yep that’s what I thought?? MINORITIES THAT YOU PICK ARE SO AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT FRONT LOAD AND SUPPLIES ! WHY DO YOU ONLY MOSTLY UTILIZE MINORITIES ON PROJECTS THAT REQUIRE MWBEs??? HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU PROBABLY PAID OUT LESS THAN 5% TO MINORITY CONTRACTORS VS. CAUCASIAN???? It’s natural for you to be uncomfortable with me because you’re being exposed? Mr. Disney use to come out to the community meetings with Rev. Hertzfield where unbiased dialogue took place. You’ll probably pick a Uncle Tom preacher just to block tough questions and answers. You need to write a new contract for minority contractors regarding inclusion. Let me read it!

Words of wisdom from Sara Burden, CBI, MAMI, CMAP, FIBBA, FMAS, Michael Lonergan, Drew Miller, Peter Mangal: - Deals age like milk, not wine. - There’s been a dramatic increase in due diligence. More deals are dying as a result. - A sell side Quality of Earnings is all the more valuable in this environment. - Know your potential buyer’s track record on re-trades. - Select constructive, effective advisors. - Run your business every day like you were selling it tomorrow.
