An Architectural and Engineering Mentor - Protégé Program
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 11 and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) are pleased to introduce you to the new Calmentor mentor-protégé program. Initiated by Governor Schwarzenegger via Executive Order S-11-06, this program is designed to encourage and support small businesses through voluntary partnerships with mid-size and larger firms. Specifically, the program aims to increase the participation of small Architectural and Engineering (A&E) firms in public transportation projects in the San Diego region.
In order to ensure success, Caltrans and SANDAG have partnered with the Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California (CELSOC) – San Diego Chapter, and the Caltrans, District 11 Small Business Council (D-11 SBC). A Steering Committee consisting of representatives from Caltrans, CELSOC and the D-11 SBC, have worked together to develop the program materials. Please take a moment to review them.
