Attending the Competitive Edge conference was an incredibly rewarding experience for Haydan Consultants. Not only did the conference provide our firm with terrific exposure, but it offered us the opportunity to make meaningful connections with companies and public agencies that are leading many of the signature projects in NY. New York’s MWBE community has benefited tremendously from Competitive Edge and their partnership with the Regional Alliance for Small Contractors, under the leadership of their new Executive Director, Zenaida Rodriguez. We are deeply proud to work with Zenaida and the RASC toward the betterment of our city and state.” Haydan Consultants, Inc.
