The Port of Houston Authority celebrated the third anniversary of the Small Business Development Program with a reception at the Grand Room Downtown last Thursday, saluting Zachry Construction Corporation as the Small Business Advocate of the Year. Paradigm Consultants, Inc. was recognized as the PHA's Small Business of the Year. PHA employees, Bayport project manager Mark Vincent and risk manager Larry Townsend, were each presented awards honoring them as PHA's Procurement Champions of the Year. "It doesn't take prodding, threatening or cajoling to make this program work," stated PHA Executive Director Tom Kornegay. "This program has succeeded because it has attracted contractors who believe that working with small businesses benefits all of us. The port delivers the goods and small businesses are a very large part of why the Port of Houston Authority does its job so well." The celebration was attended by more than 500 invited guests including participating SBDP vendors, representatives of the City of Houston, METRO, Houston Minority Business Council, United States Small Business Administration and the Women's Business Enterprise Alliance as well as several political and civic leaders. Upcoming SBDP events include the monthly networking forum, "Business Opportunities at the Port" on May 4 at 4:30 p.m. in the lunch room of the PHA Executive Office Building, located at 111 East Loop North.
