They've roped in some big names—Chicago Public Schools and Houston METRO among them. They're not just there to pat themselves on the back. They're going to spill the beans on how they made waves in compliance. Angela Booker from ISFAC, LLC, will add her two cents around contract compliance, which should make for some riveting discussions.
And for anyone steering DBE, SBE, or small business programs, this ain't optional. This is a playbook on crafting programs that don't just survive but rise above. We're talking operational efficiency, compliance mechanisms, and using tech, baby. This is the tech edge every program manager out there needs.

Dive into the Sessions
The webinars aren't just random chats over digital coffee. They're archetypal events, strategically slotted. First up, "Architecting Your Enterprise with Chicago Public Schools" at 11 AM Eastern on July 9. But they're not stopping there. Hold tight for Houston METRO's take on SBE programs, named "The Unicorn," on July 16. Decisions aren't getting easier, but these guys think you can make the right ones if you tune in.
What's Next?
The last of the series drops on July 23 at the same morning hour. "AI-Driven Compliance: Building Continuity with 49 CFR 26 & 23" is what they're calling it, and if you're skeptical about tech shaking up compliance, here's where you might change your tune.
The bottom line? If you're riding the small business program wave, steer your ship over to these sessions. It's not just experience you gain—it's actionable tactics to optimize, or frankly, to save your ship.
