Building New York: The Need for LGBTQ+ Business

Join the New York City group for a vital conversation on the coalition needed to expand fundamental business contracting programs to more widely include the queer community. This panel will dive into how business disadvantage is measured at the federal, state, and city levels for supplier diversity and business certification programs. We'll examine the impact of these programs on businesses owned by women and racial minorities, and how that compares to other categories like veterans and people with disabilities, and of course, the LGBTQIA+ community.

You'll learn how the design, construction, and real estate industry in New York City can join the fight for a more inclusive future.
