Letter from the Mayor
Dear Washingtonians,
This week, we released one of my favorite deliverables: the Green Book [ [link removed] ]. The Green Book is one of our best tools for leveraging the District’s procurement power to support and grow local businesses. It provides business owners with an agency-by-agency overview of upcoming opportunities and information on how to pursue them. For nine years, the Green Book has helped local entrepreneurs go after their fair shot.
Green Book Event [ [link removed] ]
"At the launch of the Green Book, local entrepreneur Stacie Whisonant spoke about the benefits of the Green Book and the Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) program. "
When we are intentional about working with local businesses, we keep taxpayer dollars in DC; we also help businesses expand, and when they expand, they train and hire more DC residents.
All of that adds up to a fair shot for more Washingtonians.
Explore the Green Book at greenbookdc.com [ [link removed] ].
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser
