Helping Minority- and Women-Owned Contractors


Starting in 2012, Travelers and the Minority Business Development Institute (MBDI) partnered to help small minority- and women-owned contracting firms – underserved segments of this market – become bonded, which can increase their sustainability and success. Rather than waiving surety bond requirements, MBDI believes that education and one-on-one advisory consulting services will create sustainable minority- and women-owned contractors. Travelers participates on MBDI’s advisory board and has presented educational content to more than 250 minority- and women-owned contractors.
