Special Event - 11th Annual Business Opportunity Seminar It is the policy of the Authority to aggressively seek MBE and WBE participation in its contract opportunities through all lawful means. The Authority has two programs for achieving this policy objective - an LDBE Program for contracts that do not include any federal funds and its DBE Programs for federally-funded contracts and concession opportunities. Equal Opportunity Programs Department The Equal Opportunity Programs Department has lead responsibility for the implementation of the Authority's Local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (LDBE) Program, and its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Programs for federally-funded contracts and concession opportunities. The Equal Opportunity Programs Department fosters Minority and Woman Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE) participation through the Authority's policy of voluntary MBE/WBE participation. The goal of the Equal Opportunity Programs Department is to maximize the opportunity of small, disadvantaged, minority (MBE), and women-owned business enterprises (WBE) in competing for Authority-sponsored contracts. DBE participation is sought on Authority contracts that utilize Federal dollars as part of their funding. In conjunction with this goal, the Equal Opportunity Programs Office, in coordination with other offices, determines DBE goals and LDBE requirements and appropriate voluntary MBE/WBE goals on all Authority-sponsored contracts. In addition, this Department also monitors contractors' compliance with LDBE and DBE requirements and reports on the Authority's LDBE/DBE/MBE/WBE achievements.
