Honoring the Women Driving Long Island’s Economy 💐✨Our March 11 event, "Give Them Flowers," was a powerful celebration of Women’s History Month. We were honored to host Dr. Monique Darrisaw-Akil (Superintendent of Uniondale School District) and Jenny Low (Executive Advisor, DMWBD) for an inspiring session dedicated to our women-owned businesses.The discussion highlighted the vital role MWBEs play in our local school districts and state-level initiatives. It was a moment to recognize the leadership, resilience, and vision of the women in our cohort who are shaping the future of Long Island.To the women leading the charge: We see your work, we value your impact, and we are proud to "give you your flowers."In Partnership with The National Center for Suburban Studies, The IdeaHUb, Frank G.
