We're excited to invite our small or diverse business owners to MCE's 5th Annual Certify &amp; Amplify Workshop to help you certify in the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) Supplier Diversity program and amplify your business opportunities throughout the state. This year we’ll also have a speaker focusing specifically on how to get certified as a small business.

<a href="https://www.mcecleanenergy.org/go156/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">General Order (GO) 156</a> - commonly referred to as “Supplier Diversity” - is a statewide program that encourages utilities to prioritize contracts and subcontracts from businesses that meet diversity qualifications. To qualify, businesses must be 51% woman-owned, minority-owned, LGBTQ-owned, or disability-owned enterprises. After being certified as a diverse supplier, qualified businesses are listed in the CPUC’s <a href="https://sch.thesupplierclearinghouse.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Clearinghouse</a>, which utilities can then access for their contracting needs and to meet their contracting quotas.Our speakers will include:
