Participation in Outreach
The Board of Trustees set a goal for the District to increase the contractor/vendor participation rate to 15 percent for diverse, small businesses. This business distinction includes minority-owned, women-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. The Board awarded a contract with L. Luster & Associates (LLA) and the Enterprise Foundation to assist in achieving this goal. These two teams together will bring organization, breadth of knowledge, clear communication and continuing relationships to the District’s outreach efforts; as well as tangible, measurable results in terms of contract awards and contractor performance. The Measure G-2004 and G-2010 Bond Programs are active participants in this Outreach Program.
