The City of Champaign Diversity Advancement Program “encourages City departments, contractors, and other vendors doing business with the City to increase the amount of goods and services provided by local businesses owned by minorities, women, and other socially and economically disadvantaged groups.” On Tuesday, January 28th at 8:30 a.m., the City of Champaign and Small Business Development Center at the Champaign County Economic Development Corporation are hosting an info session for those interested in learning more about how the program works.
Rachel Joy, the City of Champaign’s Community Relations Manager/Compliance Officer will give a presentation, followed by a Q&A. The session will take place at 1817 S. Neil Street, Suite 100, Champaign. It’s free, and walk-ins are welcome, but RSVP if you can.
