Why Should you attend the San Joaquin Valley Regional Conference ?

On June 24, 2005 the Governor signed Executive Order # S-5-05 creating the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley. The Partnership include all eight counties in the San Joaquin Valley- Kern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno, Madera, Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin. The region includes sixty two cities and a total population of more than 3.4 million residents. The Board of the Partnership is comprised of twenty-six members appointed by the Governor- eight Cabinet Secretaries eight locally-elected officials, eight civil leaders, and two Deputy Chairs. The Partnership has established ten Work Groups.

The federal government under President Clinton signed an Executive Order to establish the San Joaquin Valley as a Federal Empowerment Zone.

These actions by the Governor and the President will bring the San Joaquin Valley region billions in state and federal dollar for future development projects.

All projects receiving state funding are required to meet small business SBE and DVBE contract goals.

All projects receiving federal funding are required to meet a UDBE, DBE, MBE, WBE, Hub Zone or SEC 3 contract goal.

Is your business Ready & Able & Qualified to do public sector contract work?

Are you certified as a SBE, DBE, DVBE , UDBE, Hub Zone , MBE, WBE ?

Learn how you can get a share of the billions of dollars to be awarded by public agencies and contracting opportunities with private sector contractors.

Help local agencies & prime contractors to increase contracting with local San Joaquin Valley SBE / DBE / DVBE / MBE / WBE / SEC 3 businesses and assist these companies to be Ready, Able & Qualified to do public work projects.

About Us

The Kern Minority Contractors Association is a nonprofit organization, registered with the State of California, Office of the Secretary of State (#5273, January 18, 1994).

The Kern Minority Contractors Association assists members in the construction and building trades and related small business owners interested in performing public sector work.

KMCA members include sub-contractors, general contractors, material suppliers, service providers, professional services, project managers, consultants and prime contractors from throughout the San Joaquin Valley.

We are looking to partner with San Joaquin Valley public agencies and prime contractors on this event to help prepare our local small business, DBE, DVBE, SBE, MBE, WBE, SEC-3 firms and others to get ready for the projects and growth coming to the San Joaquin Valley. We can all benefit from future ecnomic development efforts.

KMCA does not receive any public grants or funding. Our program operates on donations, membership fees and user fees. We are seeking public / private sponsorship partners to help us with our annual operating budget (approximately $50,000).
