Expanding Equitable Access to L.A. County Contracts for Diverse Local Small Businesses and Nonprofits

Expanding Equitable Access to L.A. County Contracts

Attend in-person for an update by the Nonprofit Council at the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce on the progress of Equity in County Contracting with Michael Owh, Chief Deputy Director, L.A. County Internal Services Department and Kelly LoBianco, Director, L.A. County Department of Economic Opportunity.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion to launch comprehensive strategies aimed at making the contracting process with the County more accessible for small businesses and nonprofits owned by underrepresented populations, including veterans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, people with disabilities and LGBTQIA+. The motion establishes a central office for contracting and procurement to standardize practices for securing and paying contractors equitably across all County departments.
