Transportation & Infrastructure SIG: Black Engineering and Construction Firms Session

The NSBE Transportation & Infrastructure SIG is celebrating Black Engineering and Construction Firms. Starting an engineering/construction company is fairly easy. The challenge is staying in business and remaining profitable. This session will introduce some of the premier engineering/construction firms as they discuss their journey towards entrepreneurship and success.

This panel will bring together engineers and designers from the transportation and infrastructure industry. The discussion will focus on the education, background, steps to start a business, bidding on projects and successful completion of the contracts they were involved in. The panel will also discuss the challenges as a DBE and how the DBE programs can help their business and the challenges working for Prime Contractors.

Panelists: Sindy Mondesir, EDI Design, Inc. and Mae Whiteside, CKL Engineers, LLC
