Angela Washington: Championing MBEs in Federal Contracting. Today at the Innovation in Agriculture And Energy Opportunity Zone (IAEOZ) Summit

In a recent podcast hosted by Timothy Maurice Webster , Angela Washington delved deep into her pivotal role in assisting Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) in securing contracts. The conversation illuminated the nuances between Sub and Prime contracting, shedding light on the intricacies of the federal contracting landscape.

Angela's passion for her work was evident as she recounted inspiring case studies from her tenure. These examples underscored the transformative impact of federal contracts on MBEs, showcasing their potential to drive economic growth and foster innovation.

For those unfamiliar with the terms, Sub-contracting refers to the practice where a primary contractor delegates part of their obligations to a third party. In contrast, Prime contracting involves a direct contract between the client and the contractor, with the latter bearing full responsibility for the project's completion.

The podcast not only highlighted Angela's expertise but also underscored the importance of MBEs in the broader economic ecosystem. Their ability to secure federal contracts can be a game-changer, opening doors to larger projects, fostering collaborations, and amplifying their reach.
