BUILDING THE FOUNDATION Teamwork • Involvement • Commitment The Port of Portland is working with minority enterprises to develop sources which create opportunities for DBE participation. We’re working with the construction industry, the professional services industry, material sup­ ply companies, minority agencies, the Small Business Administration, financial/bonding organizations, other public agencies and pri­ vate enterprises. We want to understand the needs of the DBE community, and meet these needs. Call us for more information on how you can be part of the Port team. 503/731-7593 © Port of Portland ♦ A zuri C onstruction , I nc .

That’s what our Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Program is about. Our MBE program encourages and expands the purchasing and contracting opportunities of minority and women-owned businesses by introducing them to the appropriate buyers at U.S. Bank. It’s a pretty basic principle. If we get something from the community, which we do, we should give something back. That's why we’re proud of our MBE program and the successful partnerships we’ve formed. So, give us a call and let’s talk about you. Because we all succeed by working together. For more information about our M B E program, please call L eA nne Brown at (503) 275-4583 «•' 1996 U S lljnk Member FDIC. I J BANK. W ithout you, there's no us:
