Minority, Women and Small Business Enterprise Program Management Oversight Report Board of Education Aug. 22, 2017
History and Overview Since 1993, the MWSBE Office has proactively worked to increase the participation of minority, women and small businesses through inclusive procurement activities. In 2004, CMS conducted a disparity study that resulted in 21 recommendations. In 2005, the Board of Education adopted a new policy and a MWSBE regulation was created, leading to the enhancement of Lawson to track our spend, establishment of MWSBE aspirational goals, expansion of outreach and the revision of the MWSBE procedures manual and database. In 2005-2006, the first full year of implementation of all the changes, there was a focused effort to increase CMS utilization of MWSBE firms. The changes resulted in a period of growth until the economic downturn. 2
History/Overview Success is measured using the following program objectives: Marketing and Outreach Certification Utilization Monitoring and Reporting Training and Technical Assistance 3
