On 07.10.12, representatives of the AIA New York Chapter and partners from the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) and the NY Chapter of NOMA (NYCOBA) met with personnel from the NYC Department of Small Business Services for a kick-off meeting of the AIANY’s contract to provide “Compete to Win” Technical Assistance to firms in the Architectural and Engineering Industries. Services will include workshops and one-on-one technical assistance for Minority & Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) and small businesses. Sessions will launch in late summer and aim to spark growth in the industry by helping firms build capacity to compete for and perform on New York City contracts.
