As part of Hensel Phelps’ commitment to investing in the success of our trade partners, I would like to invite you to attend “DBE Reevaluation: From Presumption to Proof” on April 1, 2026 from 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM PST.
· Learn more about the session
The new DBE Interim Final Rule (IFR) has significantly changed how “disadvantaged” status is evaluated. This session is designed to clarify what disadvantaged means under today’s DBE program, how to properly document eligibility, and how to develop a clear, compelling narrative to demonstrate it.
Our guest speaker, Patti Olds, President & CEO of Kuniklo, will share practical guidance for trade partners considering initial DBE certification, preparing for recertification, or seeking a deeper understanding of the DBE program’s history and recent updates. The insights she provides will also be valuable to agencies, primes, and consultants navigating this transition.
There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. I hope you will join this informative discussion and share the invitation with others in your organization who may benefit.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Send us your message and we'll get back to you within one business day at the very latest.
