Federal vs. State
It is not clear if the new Executive Order that ends Federal funding for DEI programs could impact companies with Texas HUB certifications.
Focus of the Orders
The primary target of these orders is to eliminate DEI
initiatives within federal agencies themselves.
The Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program
is primarily focused on increasing contracting opportunities for businesses
owned by minorities, women, veterans, and people with disabilities within the state
of Texas.
Indirect Impacts Possibilities
Reduced Federal Funding: If federal funding for programs
that support minority-owned businesses is significantly cut, it could
indirectly impact the overall economic environment for Texas HUB providers.
Changes in Federal Contracting: Shifts in federal
contracting priorities or policies could have some ripple effects
Recommendation: Keep Calm, Carry On
