Department of Cultural Affairs, FY 2014
July 1, 2014
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
DCLA performed exceptionally well with Hispanic American businesses in construction, professional services and goods, and with Asian American businesses in construction and goods. This led to its B grade – the highest of any agency. However, its weak performance with Women-owned businesses in any industry and with Black Americans in any industry except goods held the agency back from achieving an A.
