Vendor Outreach
Our efforts to seek innovative, environmentally conscious business professionals include a variety of community outreach activities.
Our efforts include:
- Conducting quarterly outreach seminars to let diverse businesses know what we're doing and how to start doing business with us
- Participating in public efforts to assist small or disadvantaged businesses such as the Nevada Minority Business Council, and the Latin, Asian and Urban Chambers of Commerce
- Hosting an annual Supplier Diversity Fair where businesses can attend seminars, meet buyers and end-user customers
- Hosting an annual Contractors Diversity Event bringing Prime Contractors, sub-contractors and additional resources together for discussions and networking
- Minimizing bonding and insurance requirements, while still protecting the district from liability
- Establishing a clearinghouse for small, minority, women-owned and disadvantaged business searches, availability, referrals and information
- Networking with other organizations to implement best practices and share referrals and success stories
