2021 Subcontractors USA Awards Luncheon: “Growth and Expansion”

DMSCL 110 scaled

Subcontractors USA-TEXAS takes great pride and pleasure highlighting those top primes and agencies who open doors for great things to happen for small businesses. Through Subcontractors USA, we are able to give our prime contractors the accolades they deserve for their achievements in the industry and their contributions to the community. We are especially proud to have representation from agencies and companies from across the State of Texas. When diversity is embraced, the economy and the workforce are strengthened. I find it extremely rewarding that we are able to highlight agencies, primes and subcontractors and those in the industries of engineering, architecture, construction, transportation, IT, petrochemical, oil and gas, and energy and manufacturing who work together to foster diversity in Texas’ business world.  As a minority-owned publication and media company, it is our privilege to celebrate those companies that do meet their minority participation goals, striving to be the bridge that fosters growth across Texas for small businesses that want to do business with their larger counterparts. We realize it is important to be inclusive. It is critical to have diversity in the marketplace, and this annual event highlights those who are contributing to Texas’ economic growth and prosperity.
