Beyond just being a physical location, the BJRC represents a highly effective “marketplace,” at the heart of which are the business resources the BJRC seeks out, cultivates and brings to the table as contracting opportunities arise. They include local emerging, disadvantaged, and minority- and woman-owned businesses that engage with the BJRC through informational workshops, networking meetings and sponsored events. The BJRC’s broad base of business resources is further enhanced by its active participation in and collaboration with professional associations, industry organizations, chambers of commerce and the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office of Economic Development.

The BJRC is an active participant in the Los Angeles business community. Focused primarily on bringing timely information about future LAWA projects to our dynamic and diverse business community, the BJRC leverages its resources by developing and maintaining strong relationships by working closely with its collaborative business partners, including the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development, other governmental agencies, national and ethnic business organizations, private corporations and local chambers of commerce to stimulate interest in competing for airport contracts. Its extensive outreach also includes providing business networking, sponsorship of and participation in industry trade shows and community events, in-depth skills-based and informational workshops, and membership in diversity-oriented industry organizations, professional associations and chambers of commerce.
