SUMMARY:CCGI: Powering Opportunity Program
DESCRIPTION:The Long Beach LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce is once again thrilled to partner with the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) for the NGLCC California Certification Growth Initiative (CCGI) to support LGBTQ+ businesses accessing procurement opportunities across our state.\n \n\nAs such\, we are thrilled to invite you to attend the CCGI Powering Opportunity Program\, a virtual session focused on helping California-based suppliers better understand\, access\, and compete for opportunities with California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulated utility companies.\n \n\nCPUC-regulated utilities alone spend more than $40 billion each year on goods and services and now have a 1.5% procurement goal for LGBTQ+ owned businesses representing roughly $650+ million in opportunity annually. Yet much of that spend remains untapped simply because too few businesses are certified and visible in supplier pipelines. Certification is more than a designation it is your access point to real contracts\, real buyers\, and real revenue. Join us to learn how becoming certified can position your business to compete for and win your share of this growing market.\n \n\nDuring the virtual CCGI Powering Opportunity Program\, participants will:\n\n- Learn how to identify and pursue contracting opportunities with California utilities.\n\n - Understand what corporate and utility buyers are looking for in qualified suppliers\n\n- Gain insights directly from partners on how to position your business for engagement and success\n\n- Leverage NGLCC certification as a tool to increase visibility and access to supplier inclusion pipelines\n\nREGISTER TODAY!\n\nDate: Monday\, April 27\, 2026\n\nTime: 11am-12:30pm PT\n \n\nThis is an open program for businesses eligible to work in California. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and to share it with others in your network who may benefit.
