The Daily Journal of Commerce last week held its second annual Building Diversity Awards and Education program to honor disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, emerging small business and combat-disabled veteran-owned firms that are certified through the state of Oregon’s COBID program.

A total of 15 local firms and organizations were honored for their efforts to shape the built environment through outstanding work, leadership, mentorships, community involvement and promotion of industry diversity.

The event was held at the Sentinel Hotel in downtown Portland and included networking, food and drinks, an awards program, and a keynote speech by Fernando Martinez, the president and CEO of the Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council.
