Small Business Briefings TxDOT 2009

The document describes the Small Business Briefings conducted by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) through its Business Outreach and Program Services Branch. These briefings are two-day conferences held around the state to help women, small, and minority-owned businesses by providing them with contract opportunities, training, and education on how to do business with TxDOT and the State of Texas. The briefings include general industry sessions, technical assistance breakout sessions, industry breakout sessions, contracting opportunities showcase, and networking sessions. The purpose of these briefings is to connect small and minority-owned businesses to TxDOT procurement staff, provide one-on-one marketing and relationship building opportunities, and assist them in understanding the fundamentals of working as a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) in state government. The briefings also aim to meet TxDOT's HUB goals and increase registration and awareness for small businesses. TxDOT partners with other public and private sector organizations to provide these events and connect with more HUBs. The participation of industry partners and community leaders adds value to the briefings and allows attendees to see how their businesses connect to the larger economic development trends and initiatives. The document emphasizes the importance of small and minority-owned businesses to the economy and TxDOT's operations. The Small Business Briefings have been successful in addressing the needs of small and minority-owned businesses and breaking down stereotypical viewpoints about doing business with state government.
