Adapting Beyond DBE: Strategies to Protect & Grow Your Firm

The recent Department of Transportation changes to the DBE program have created a seismic shift for firms that once relied on race- or sex-based designation for access to contracts and opportunities. While the shift presents challenges, it also opens the door for firms to build stronger, more sustainable strategies that drive growth well beyond traditional set-aside opportunities.

This webinar, designed specifically for C-level leaders of DBE-designated AEC firms, will outline critical strategies to help you pivot, protect your business, and identify new growth opportunities. From strengthening your business development efforts and expanding market positioning to creating retention plans that keep your best people on board, you’ll leave with actionable next steps for navigating this transition with resilience and confidence.

After attending this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Identify risks and opportunities created by the recent DBE program changes and understand their potential impact on your firm’s backlog, pipeline, and client relationships.
• Learn actionable strategies that help firms strengthen business development, diversify opportunities, and expand market presence.
• Gain insights into developing a proactive strategic plan to capitalize on new market opportunities.
