MDOT’s Office of Small and Minority Business Policy conducts a free monthly workshop for firms interested in applying for certification as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) and/or Small Business Enterprise (SBE).
The workshops are held on the first Tuesday of every month at MDOT Headquarters in Hanover, MD. Content includes:
- an examination of the five eligibility standards
- a review of the complete application process
- an in-depth look at the Uniform Certification Application (link provided below)
- answers to the most common application questions
We will also take a brief look at how to connect to business opportunities with the State of Maryland and offer some valuable marketing and business development tips.
In addition to the monthly workshops conducted in the morning, four evening sessions are also available. In March, June, September and December, the application assistance workshop will be repeated in the evening starting at 5:30 PM. Just like in our morning sessions, participants are able to meet with a certification expert following the presentation.
