SWCA Bridge Replacement Session at ilani TODAY! (venue updated)

BE Informed! Come and Network! 
Cowlitz Gathering room inside the Meeting and Entertainment Center (MEC) 

SWCA, in partnership with the Office of Minority & Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) and the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Program, invites you to an upcoming event designed to support contractors and businesses across the region.

This session is open to ALL companies interested in learning more about the Bridge Replacment Project and Washington’s new FSBE (Federal Small Business Enterprise) certification. OMWBE will provide an overview of the certification, explain eligibility requirements, and offer on‑site assistance to help contractors get signed up.

FSBE certification is especially important right now. The first major project package for the Columbia River Bridge Replacement will include an FSBE goal on both design and construction. This means it’s critical for contractors to understand the certification and determine early whether they qualify.

Event Highlights:

• FSBE certification presentation from OMWBE
• On‑site support for registration and eligibility questions
• Program update from the Interstate Bridge Replacement team
• Networking with light refreshments and snacks

     
Event Details:

• Date: August 3
• Time: 12:30 – 3:00 PM 
• Location: ilani, 1 Cowlitz Way, Ridgefield, WA 98642

We hope you’ll join us for this informative session and connect with others in the regional contracting community.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there.
