On Friday, May 30, Space Connect hosted a powerful mixer that brought together leading construction primes like Gast Construction Group and Gilbane with a dynamic group of Small Business Enterprises (SBEs), including 2SBW & Associates, CCMS Custom Cleaning Solutions, Family Gutters, Alligator Landscaping, Fortex Roofing, CAMOR Plastering, Advanced Air Conditioning, Dayners Landscaping, Panther National, ST4FF, Fully Promoted, among others.
During the event, we introduced the SBEs to public agency representatives and highlighted the importance of becoming properly registered and certified with each agency. This step is essential for accessing public contracts and long-term business opportunities. Space Connect is committed to helping these businesses through that process.
We were honored to have the support and presence of local leaders, including Allen Gray from the Office of Equal Business Opportunity of Palm Beach County, County Commissioner Gregg Weiss, Virginia Savietto, Board Member of the School District of Palm Beach County, and Michael Zeff, President of the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches.
A special thank you goes to Jorge Sigler, former Contract Compliance Officer for the School District of Palm Beach County, for his ongoing support. Throughout his work, Jorge focused on connecting local small businesses with public agency opportunities. Along the way, he discovered a major gap in information and guidance. As Space Connect has grown, we’ve come to understand that helping close this gap is a vital part of our purpose—and Jorge has played a key role in shaping that direction.
We continue to build meaningful partnerships that strengthen our local business community—connecting talent with real opportunities.
