NYC Council member, Amanda Farias, commends MWBE mentees at School Construction Authority for dedicated service

In a show of support for minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) in New York City’s School Construction Authority (SCA), Council Member Amanda Farias recently met with a group of mentees engaged in the SCA’s Capital Improvement Program.

The gathering aimed to highlight and recognize the contributions of these dedicated professionals towards the city’s education infrastructure.

During the visit, arranged by Celeste Morris, Farias expressed her gratitude to the participants for their hard work and commitment to serving the city.

The SCA’s Capital Improvement Program, known for its focus on enhancing school facilities across New York City, relies heavily on the expertise and dedication of individuals within the MWBE community.

Farias, a staunch advocate for diversity and inclusivity in public projects, emphasized the importance of such programs in fostering talent and promoting equity within the construction and education sectors.

The meeting provided an opportunity for the council member to witness firsthand the impact of MWBE participation in critical city initiatives.

Celeste Morris, recognized for her role in organizing the visit, received acknowledgment for her efforts in facilitating this important engagement. The School Construction Authority’s MWBE program has been instrumental in providing opportunities and support to underrepresented groups, aligning with broader city initiatives to promote economic empowerment and diversity.

The event underscored the significance of collaboration between public officials and industry stakeholders in advancing inclusive practices and supporting diverse talent pipelines. Farias concluded the visit by extending her appreciation to all members of the MWBE program within the School Construction Authority for their ongoing dedication and service to New York City’s educational infrastructure.

The council member’s proactive engagement reflects a broader commitment to amplifying the voices and contributions of marginalized communities within the city’s public service landscape.
