LeChase’s Denise Barnes and Marcus Tuttle spoke at the recent “Connecting the Pieces” business networking event. The Durham County MWBE Program and City of Durham Department of Equity and Inclusion jointly organized the session. It brought together MWBE professionals, prime contractors, subcontractors, and other business people to discuss public contracting opportunities and topics.
Denise is regional diversity manager for LeChase, while Marcus is a project executive in the Durham office. During the event, they shared information about private sector projects that may not see a high level of outreach and advertising to MWBE subcontractors.
