🚀 Groundbreaking Launch for Arab/MENA Businesses in Chicago!

The Arab-American Business & Professional Association (ABPA) hosted its first official event in partnership with the City of Chicago Department of Procurement Services (DPS), marking a major milestone for our community.

The exclusive event introduced attendees to the city's contract bidding process and provided valuable one-on-one matchmaking sessions with top prime vendors in Chicago.

A special thank you goes out to:
* The Honorable Retired Judge William Haddad for his guidance and leadership.
* Chief Procurement Officer Sharla Roberts and the DPS team for hosting us.
* All the business professionals and prime contractors who attended and connected.

We hope this is the first of many collaborative events to get the MENA Arab-American business community fully involved in doing business with the City of Chicago!
