Firms Competing for DNC Dollars
Local small-business owners are continuing their push to get a share of the estimated $132 million that the upcoming Democratic National Convention is expected to pump into the Los Angeles economy.
Fifty members of the Latino business community met Monday with Lydia Camarillo, chief executive of the 2000 Democratic National Convention Committee. The committee recently began hosting workshops for area small-business owners, who are eager to compete for convention contracts for everything from flowers to transportation. Last month, 80 African American business leaders met with the committee to learn about procurement opportunities.
