We are requesting all participants to register in advance for the 1st
day to get all updates for MED Week 2024; as we anticipate increased
participation as the event has gained momentum in N.Y., State.
A theme of MED Week each year is that Minority entrepreneurs can benefit
from increased commitment of the federal and state governments to award
contracts to them, but only if they first have a strong, well-organized
operation, officials said at last year’s conference. In a prior Newsday
article Charlene Thompson, President of Thompson Economic Development
Services, LLC, a government contractor in Baldwin stated, “We have a
federal and a state government that has in mind to help small
businesses, particularly those of us who have often been underserved,
underrepresented.” She continued, “But we have to make sure that they
are ready.” There are corporate partners that can help you get your
house in order.” Thompson is an expert in government housing programs
and a law professor at Hofstra University.
