Miss Barnes (Waste Pro consultant) summarized Waste Pro's outreach approach: mass emails and calls to nearly 1,000 SBEs across Palm Beach County and the School District lists, use of Mailchimp for mass email, paid social ads, and a November outreach/landing page; she acknowledged low turnout at an outreach event (33 SBEs) and said Waste Pro attempted to identify additional SBE service lines (towing, lab testing) but legal/master agreements sometimes blocked immediate use. She said the firm sought a waiver after failing to meet the 20% SBE subcontracting goal.
