Gov. Paterson & Sen. Hassell-Thompson celebrating new MWBE laws
After years of work by legislators and advocates, including NYWA and EPCNYC, Gov. Paterson signed four MWBE Bills into law on July 15th. They will enable qualified Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBEs) to garner a much larger share of state contracts. Congratulations to all who have worked long and hard for this, and special thanks to Nancy Ploeger, Chair of NYWA’s Economic Empowerment Committee, for leading our efforts to create tangible change and increased opportunities for NYS women.
