Trinal Facilitates the 1st Mariano's Pre-Qualified Contractors Outreach
Event for Minority, Women, and Disadvantaged Businesses Seeking to
Participate in the Mariano’s Pre-Qualified Contractor’s Program
October 13th, 2015 — On October 2nd, 2015, Alicia Garcia-Abner, President/CEO
of Trinal, Inc., the Corporate Diversity Consultant for Roundy's Supermarkets, Inc.
(“Mariano's”) facilitated the 2015 Mariano's Pre-Qualified Contractors Outreach
Event. Derrick Ahler, Vice President Store Planning and Design at Roundy’s
Supermarkets, Inc. and Gary Enos, Project Manager for Roundy’s Supermarkets,
Inc., represented Mariano’s, who sponsored the event.
Minority, women, and disadvantaged businesses owners were given the
opportunity to network, ask questions, and participate in one-on-one sessions with
the general contractors that will be building the Mariano’s stores in 2016. Trinal
was instrumental in facilitating the event and presented a Fresh look at Diversity
through providing immediate access to general contractors and a strong social
media presence with photos highlighting the event. Trinal also partnered with BJ’s
Market and Bakery, a minority-owned catering company, E-Tre Productions, a
minority-owned production company and Cross Rhodes Reprographics a minorityowned printing, signage and IT construction-related solutions company as part of
Mariano’s and Trinal’s commitment to ensuring opportunities for minority and
women-owned businesses.
This event would not have been possible without the support and sponsorship of
Mariano’s. Their commitment to the minority community continues to be
exceptional. Trinal is also proud to be an instrument for small businesses to have
opportunities that may not be possible in such a competitive industry. Mariano’s
and Trinal, Inc. are committed to finding ways where minority, women,
disadvantaged, local and veteran-owned businesses are engaged and included in
various procurement opportunities.
