Friends,

The City of Houston invites you to an important public meeting about the 2023 Disparity Study and the future of the MWSBE (Minority, Women, and Small Business Enterprise) program.

With a legal challenge threatening the city’s ability to support diverse businesses—and the court giving Houston until mid-April to finalize its position—your input has never mattered more.

When: Monday, April 14, 2025

Time: 1:00 – 3:00 P.M.

Where: The Ion Houston, Inc.

4201 Main St., Conference Room 031, Houston, TX 77002

During this session, Director Cylenthia Hoyrd from the Office of Business Opportunity will break down what the study found, address community concerns, and take your questions. This is your chance to help shape policy and ensure Houston’s programs truly reflect the needs of all our communities.

Let’s keep equity and opportunity front and center—join the conversation.

Together we will!

Edward Pollard
