When Julissa Gutierrez was appointed New York’s chief diversity officer last summer, she was tasked with registering more MWBEs and reaching the state’s ambitious 30% MWBE contract utilization goal – which New York nearly did, with the state announcing in December that 29.51% of its contracts had been awarded to firms owned by women or minorities in the 2019-2020 fiscal year. An expert on Latino issues and civic engagement, Gutierrez previously held key roles with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund.

Port Houston Thrived In 2020
The Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority held its first meeting of the year on Tuesday.
Port Chairman Ric Campo began the meeting by expressing his appreciation for the efforts of Houston Ship Channel partners, including federal officials and industry stakeholders and Port Authority staff, as Project 11 (the Houston Ship Channel Improvement program) achieved two significant milestones.
Earlier this month, Project 11 received a “new start” designation, and $19.5 million in federal funds were included in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2021 work program to support its work to widen and deepen the channel. This followed authorization of Project 11 in the Water Resources and Development Act of 2020, as part of a larger legislative package passed by Congress in December.
