I’ve heard the Done Deals program changed in 2008, in what ways?
The Done Deals program has grown wildly over the past eight years. With 25,000 deals reported in 2007, the format changed to one that is easier to read and highlights the “big picture”. The 2nd Generation of Done Deals looks more like a newsletter with interesting, detailed articles about business being done between members. Articles fall into specific categories, such as “Multi-Year Contracts”, “First Time Business Deals” and “Mega Done Deals”. There are 12 categories within which you can report your deals (WBE/WBE or Corp/WBE). Additionally, total spend numbers (reported by Sustaining Members only) are announced each quarter giving readers a chance to see the “big picture” of the business our corporations are doing with WBEs.
