Somos 2026 Conference

Local 1010 LECET was glad to participate in this year’s Somos Inc. Puerto Rico Conference and the legislative workshop, “Certified, Contracted, Still Unpaid: Fixing the Cash Flow Crisis for MWBEs and Small Businesses.”

The discussion brought together government, business, and community leaders to address challenges facing MWBEs, including delayed payments, access to working capital, and barriers to sustainable business growth.

Thank you to the legislative sponsors, Senator Kevin Parker, Senator James Sanders, Assemblymember Michaelle Solages, Assemblymember Emerita Torres, and Rodneyse Bichotte, New York State Assembly, as well as the incredible panelists for bringing attention to these important issues.

We look forward to continuing our advocacy for policies and opportunities that help MWBE contractors succeed and grow.
