SUMMARY:Developing an Effective Capabilities Statement
DESCRIPTION:Join the Urban League of Louisiana on Thursday\, October 26\, 10:00am-11:30am\, for “Developing an Effective Capabilities Statement”. This virtual session is a part of a series of monthly events in collaboration with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development’s DBE Supportive Services program. \nWith an increase in the number of viable contractors available to support public and private projects\, contracting across the region is now more competitive than ever.

But\, with a sea of contenders\, these elements need to be even more clearly and effectively conveyed than ever before. \nAs a contractor\, your capability statement serves as your business card and should set your apart from your competitors. It is a tool that will show potential clients how your achievements\, core competencies\, accreditations\, financial health\, and experience will create value for their projects. During this interactive workshop\, participants will learn the key components of a capabilities statement and will be given guidance on crafting these elements to fit their business model and offerings. \nThere is no cost to attend. However\, registration is required. Register today to reserve your spot! \nhttps://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7602793486826396503
