Last Minute Meetings is now a Virginia DBE Firm

Fairfax, Virginia — Last Minute Meetings is proud to announce that the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has certified Last Minute Meetings as a Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) under the United States Department of Transportation regulations. The primary goal of the DBE program is to provide small businesses owned and controlled by minority individuals a fair opportunity to compete for federally funded transportation contracts.

Last Minute Meetings partners with government entities and prime contractors on their public engagement efforts, such as round-tables, public hearings, public meetings, and special events to receive input on proposed transportation and other projects.

“I am pleased and excited that the company now has DBE status,” said Donald Garrett, MPA, PRP, the Principal of Last Minute Meetings. “Public meetings are an important feedback mechanism for federally-funded projects. Our goal is to help prime contractors conduct the necessary outreach, especially in our current, virtual COVID-19 posture.”

Last Minute Meetings currently services a contact with the Virginia Department of Transportation on hosting virtual meetings and webinar with their Business Opportunity and Workforce Development Center.
