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.

Organizations that represent contractors and mayors in New York are urging Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to override a key construction law in New York for the Gateway Tunnel.
The groups the New York Conference of Mayors, the Associated General Contractors, the General Contractors Association of New York and the Minority & Women Contractors and Developers Association in the letter to Buttigieg released Wednesday urged him to tap into his department s regulatory power to supersede the measure.
Known as the Scaffold Law, the measure has long come under criticism from construction organizations and local governments for the burden placed on projects. The measure places liability for accidents on contractors and property owners for gravity-related injuries at job sites even if the accident is the fault of the worker.
