Come mingle with Metro and Multnomah County staff at an early evening Open House. A great chance for small businesses in the Metro Region to introduce themselves to project managers from both agencies, learn about opportunities, and how to do business with government.
Learn about certification as a minority, woman or service disabled veteran-owned business, or emerging small business.
