The Golden Triangle Minority Business Council has been proud to be the leader in Southeast Texas promoting Minority Women Owned Small Business Enterprises, and on August 2, 2010, celebrated yet another milestone achievement in its 21 year history by signing documents as an “approved certifying agency” for the State of Texas HUB program.
Mr. Paul Gibson Manager of the Statewide Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program holds the prepared Memorandum of Agreement HUB Certification as he brings greetings to the Board of Directors of the Golden Triangle Minority Business Counci on behalf of the TPASS.
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) administers the State-wide Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program for the State of Texas, which includes certifying minority and woman-owned businesses as HUBs and is designed to facilitate the participation of minority and woman-owned businesses in state agency procurement opportunities. The CPA has established Memorandums of Agreement with other organizations that certify minority and women-owned businesses that meet certification standards as defined by the CPA. The agreements allow for Texas-based minority and women-owned businesses that are certified with one of our certification partners to become HUB certified through one convenient application process.
The signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between the State of Texas HUB Division of Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) and the Golden Triangle Minority Business Council (GTMBC) “officially” approves GTMBC’s HUB certification program, pursuant to Texas Government Code §2161.061. The Golden Triangle Minority Business Council’s petition to the State of Texas to establish a HUB Certification Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts has been “approved.” This is an overwhelming milestone in advancing the value and foundation of the Council as the Gulf Coast region’s leading certifying agency for “all local” Minority, Women, and, Small/Disadvantaged Business Enterprises.
Hatched continued, “And let there be no doubt we have pursued this for many years and owe a significant amount of thanks and gratitude to our State Representative Joe Deshotel who stood in support of this partnership at the beginning understanding and knowing how much the Texas HUB Program will greatly benefit qualified local small businesses of the Golden Triangle who are the backbone of our local economy.”
In accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) has established with the Golden Triangle Minority Business Council (GTMBC), and we are pleased to inform our M/WBE/HUB Vendors, Corporate Sponsors and Friends of GTMBC, qualifying small businesses may now be certified as a HUB through the Council. More details soon.
Noted: The GTMBC is a 501 (c )(3), Federal Tax I.D. Number 76-0549413.
