On April 30, 2003, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recognized eleven (11) individuals and four (4) program areas for exemplary achievements in providing contracting opportunities to small, small disadvantaged and woman-owned businesses.

The awards were presented in the Departmental Conference Room during a luncheon reception hosted by OSDBU. HUD has consistently been recognized for maintaining and achieving progressive goals for prime contract awards to small business concerns for more than three years. HUD has also been recognized for its significant achievements in prime contract awards to woman-owned small business concerns and subcontract awards to small business concerns. HUD has consistently been among the leaders in the Federal government in promoting contracting with small, disadvantaged and woman-owned businesses.

It is therefore only fitting that OSDBU honor the "soldiers on the front line" in the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary's goal of "Promoting Jobs and Economic Opportunities." These awards recognize HUD's overall commitment to ensuring the success of this important segment of America's economy. They also send a strong message to program managers and contracting officials that the success of the small business community is closely linked to the Department's goals and mission. These awards recognize HUD's overall commitment to ensuring the success of this important segment of America's economy.

With the support of the Secretary, the Deputy Secretary, OSDBU, OCPO and the program offices we will continue to ensure HUD's success in outreach and support of American small businesses. Please join OSDBU in congratulating the following people:
