“MassAlliance
has been an instrumental partner in helping the City successfully expand our
contracting with small and local businesses. For over a decade, they have helped
us build viable business relationships between city contracting agencies and
small business enterprises. The result of their work strengthens the city by
keeping so many small businesses participating in the region’s economic
activity.”
Daniel
A. Grabauskas
Secretary of Transportation
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
“
For over ten years, MassAlliance has benefited the state by helping us identify
and contract with diverse companies that have the skill and capacity to provide
services to the Commonwealth. The work of MassAlliance has resulted in many
of these small businesses establishing sustainable, long-term relationships
with larger companies, as well as to help expand their contracting opportunities
on public and private development projects throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”
James
E. Rooney, Executive Director
Massachusetts Convention Center Authority
“MassAlliance
was instrumental in helping the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority surpass
all of our goals for woman-owned, minority-owned, and small business participation
on the $800-million Boston Convention and Exhibition Center project. I believe
MassAlliance’s success on this unique project can also serve as a model
approach for enhancing small and local business participation on future large-scale
development in the region.”
Tony
Esteves, Senior Vice President
Skanska USA Building
“MassAlliance has helped the Skanska project team to develop
better business relationships with small and locally-based companies and contractors.
The result is that we have a more diverse group of community-based companies
working with us and doing business with us.”
