Last Friday, July 16th, Centennial received the 2010 Diversity Solutions Award from Maryland Minority Contractors Association (MMCA), along with letters of recognition/commendation from both Maryland Senators Benjamin Cardin and Barbara Mikulski at MMCA’s 2010 Awards Banquet and Summer Soiree. Terry Dubbs, regional operations manager, accepted the award on Centennial's behalf.
Centennial was honored with several others, including Governor Martin O’Malley, Congressman Elijah Cummings, Senator Joan Carter Conway and Gilbane.
According to the MMCA, the Diversity Solutions Award is given to the organization that historically provides exceptional outreach to the minority contracting community; exhibits consistent inclusion of minority subcontractors that far exceeds goals set by the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland; empowers minority contractors by supplying strong contacts within the Baltimore business community; helps minority contractors build a stable reputation by providing access to a wider variety of construction projects; provides mentoring and training to assist minority subcontractors in their professional growth; helps minority contractors untangle the often convoluted web of regulations involved when dealing with City and State licensing governments; and bridges the gap between minority contractors and governmental institutions in order to better coordinate projects that directly benefit the Baltimore City community.
Centennial is honored to receive the Diversity Solutions Award from the Maryland Minority Contractors Association. The collaborative partnership we've established with the MMCA and its members ensures that both sides achieve a potential for growth that neither could have realized individually. We are proud of the many successful relationships that have been forged between Centennial and minority contracting organizations – both large and small – over many years in Baltimore.
Here is the letter and commendation:
