CONNECTIONS
As the adage goes: People want to do business with people they know. At BuildOUT California our leadership team has amassed over 350 years of collective business acumen and trusted relationships with industry leaders, influencers and decision makers. We are dedicated to opening doors for you.
ADVOCACY
California is the world’s fifth largest economy and the voice of the Golden State’s LGBT construction services community deserves to be heard loud and clear. Effective public policy initiatives remove barriers to success and they level the playing field.
BuildOUT California already has a ‘seat at the table’ in Sacramento and we invite you to join us in delivering positive changes related to the state’s business climate, quality of life issues and equal rights.
TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE
Like people, there are no two businesses that are exactly alike. With that in mind BuildOUT California’s approach to providing technical assistance that truly ‘moves the dial’ for your business comes from our collective experience of getting to the core issues that may be holding back your success. Our leadership, trainers and technical providers have over three centuries of experience in overcoming challenges, winning competitively bid procurement opportunities and knowing how to manage sustainable growth as you win new contracts/create new jobs.
