Join the Urban League of Louisiana on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, 10:00am-11:30am, to learn best practices for developing an effective capabilities statement! This virtual session is a part of a series of monthly events in collaboration with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development’s DBE Supportive Services program.
With an increase in the number of viable contractors available to support public and private projects, contracting across the region is now more competitive than ever. However, the critical factors are the same. Procurement leads need to understand your capabilities, your value proposition, cost competitiveness, and how well you have performed on previous projects. But, with a sea of contenders, these elements need to be even more clearly and effectively conveyed than ever before.
Your capability statement serves as your business card and should set your apart from your competitors. It is a tool that will show potential clients how your achievements, core competencies, accreditations, financial health, and experience will create value for their projects. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn the key components of a capabilities statement and will be given guidance on crafting these elements to fit your business model and offerings.
This session will be facilitated by Courtney Elzey, Principal, MCDS, LLC.
