Griffin & Strong has partnered with the Illinois Power Agency (“IPA” or “Agency”) to conduct a Racial Disparity and Availability Study that will analyze the level of access and participation for minority businesses and workers in the Illinois clean energy sector.
As part of this effort, Griffin & Strong will conduct one-on-one interviews with clean energy business owners to better understand their experiences navigating opportunities within the state’s clean energy sector, especially in relation to the Agency’s programs and procurements. Program participants, including Approved Vendors (AVs) and Designees, will be randomly selected to participate in interviews and may be contacted via phone and email. If you are contacted by a team member from Griffin & Strong, we kindly encourage you to respond.
Your perspective is important. The Agency strongly encourages AVs and Designees to participate in this process, as your feedback will play a critical role in shaping Griffin & Strong’s analysis and help develop meaningful recommendations to improve access and strengthen programs and procurement practices.
