Through this Report, we reaffirm the Authority’s commitment to transparency and authentic communication. Since 1994, the year the Authority implemented its nondiscrimination programs, we have paid more than $338 million to certified M/W/DBEs and VOBs. This success would not be possible without the support of our committed partners in the Engineering Division, Purchasing and Contract Administration Departments. Focused outreach continues to contribute to the success of our programs. In 2017, some of our efforts to share information and otherwise connect with members of the community included: x Publishing News Alert, a quarterly newsletter, which is disseminated to more than 1,000 individuals; x Sending numerous e-alerts to more than 1,000 subscribers to notify them about upcoming contract and purchasing opportunities, all of which are also posted on the Authority’s website at www.drpa.org; x Representing DRPA/PATCO at various business expos and other events in the region with the goal of educating the public about contract opportunities and how to do business with DRPA and PATCO; and x Serving on a number of educational panels, including, but not limited to, ‘The State of Black New Jersey 2017 Conference’, a ‘MinorityEnterprise Development (MED) Week’ event sponsored by City Councilwoman at-Large Blondell Reynolds Brown, and ‘Ready. Set. Mentor Women’s Leadership Mentor Event’ a women’s leadership initiative sponsored by United Way. In addition, in 2017, for the first time, OBD&EO partnered with the Authority’s Legal Division to host the 1st Diversity Outreach Event for Legal Services. The event was well attended, and attendees received copies of the publicly advertised RFP and were invited to submit proposals for consideration. We thank the Board of Commissioners, led by Chairman Ryan N. Boyer and Vice Chairman Jeffrey L. Nash, and Chief Executive Officer John T. Hanson for their steadfast commitment to fairness and equity, diversity and inclusion, the principles of equal contracting and employment opportunities for all. For additional information about our programs please visit our website at www.drpa.org/obdeo or call our office at (856) 968-2270. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Toni P.
