As a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) ourselves, Miles•McClellan is very aware of the impact companies can have by supporting each other's goals. We are active in the diverse supplier community and have formed Small Business Administration (SBA)-approved Mentor/Protégé relationships to provide support to other companies, helping them develop and grow their businesses. We consistently strive to provide opportunities for small, disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned businesses on every project in which we're involved. We do this not only because it's the right thing to do, but also because we recognize that our diverse suppliers and partners are a key element in providing maximum value to our clients and projects. Simply put, our outreach and inclusion efforts make smart business sense while strengthening communities.

Our efforts have directly impacted the communities in which we build. We consistently raise our clients' expectations by achieving higher inclusion of diverse businesses than on their previous projects. We continually demonstrate the ability to manage the triple constraints of budget, schedule and quality while including minority- and women-owned businesses at significant levels of participation.

Miles•McClellan is experienced at utilizing a variety of resources and processes to maximize participation and inclusion. Some of the resources we have in place include:

• A designated Community Outreach Manager who works with our clients and the entire project team to ensure maximum participation by M/W/DBE's.
• An extensive internal database of MBE / WBE / DBE / EDGE firms certified by various agencies
• Strong working relationships with several minority contractors groups and community organizations

Throughout our 32 years in business, the communities in which we work have supported us – and Miles•McClellan is committed to continuing to support them in the years to come.
