Join Husch Blackwell and its partners for an afternoon of informative panel discussions and networking to support Milwaukee’s minority contractors. Our first panel, moderated by Tom Daykin of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, will explore the region's construction project outlook for 2023. Our second panel, moderated by Amanda Garcia-Williams of Husch Blackwell, will discuss how to best position minority-owned construction firms to participate in the opportunities these projects provide.
Following the program, please stay for a networking session to meet and develop relationships with some of the larger construction companies, lenders and developers.
The second-annual event is part of Husch Blackwell’s Communities for Change initiative, together with the HB Construction Academy, and our efforts to identify areas of need in Milwaukee’s construction community and to contribute our resources and talents to promote equity, inclusion and justice.
