NYC Department of Social Services

Congratulations to Commissioner Dynishal Gross and the whole NYC Department of Small Business Services team on an incredible event. Whatever it took to get it there, it felt seamless from the floor to the stage. Thanks for the opportunity to talk about our agencies' program and meet hundreds of businesses ready, willing, and able to join in our mission! Special shout out to Wilmer Alencastro, Carter Lard, Vincent Pullo, and Beverly M. Riddick for joining me on Positioning for Partnership | Contracting for Community panel where we got a chance to talk about DSS/HRA/DHS partnership with human service providers and non-profits. We discussed upcoming events, ways and means, and over a hundred current opportunities to provide good and services to New Yorkers in need. Reach out to us at mwbe@dss.nyc.gov to learn more.    Congratulations to Raymond Daniel Medina, Teresita Dehoyos, and the DSS M/WBE Program Team for the tireless work that goes into bringing our best to events like this one and building programs like ours. We see you!
