This file is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (M/WBE) policy statement template for the State University of New York Maritime College (SUNY Maritime) related to the Exterior Facade Signage Installation project at Baylis Hall. The policy statement commits SUNY Maritime to complying with New York State Executive Law, Article 15-A, which requires meaningful participation of minority and women's business enterprises in state-financed contracting activities and meaningful participation of minorities and women in the workforce. The document designates a Minority Business Enterprise Officer responsible for administering the M/WBE-EEO program and establishes contract goals of 11.00% for Minority Business Enterprise participation and 19.00% for Women's Business Enterprise participation. Employment opportunity goals are set at 10% for minority labor force participation and 10% for female labor force participation.

The policy statement template requires completion by an authorized representative of SUNY Maritime, including designation of the responsible officer's name, contact information, and the authorized representative's signature and date. This document serves as the formal commitment mechanism to ensure compliance with state minority and women's business participation requirements for the signage installation project, which is subject to prevailing wage requirements and New York State Finance Law restrictions on vendor contact.
