Done Deal™ Awards
Providing WBEC Metro NY & WBEC Greater DMV-certified WBEs with more business opportunities is one of the primary ways in which WBEC Metro NY & WBEC Greater DMV puts its mission into action—and our Done Deals™ initiative was created to recognize, publicize and celebrate these successes.
A business deal is recognized as a Done Deal™ only if it meets the necessary criteria, and is submitted to WBEC Metro NY or WBEC Greater DMV as a Done Deal™ via our website. This communication is crucial, as it serves to inform all members about the successful contracting and business opportunities that result from being a Metro NY or Greater DMV-certified WBE or Corporate Member.
Done Deals™ Awards
Participants must submit their Done Deals™ between April 1ˢᵗ to March 31ˢᵗ of the following year—the challenge period—to qualify for that year’s Done Deal™ Awards.
