• Vendor Open House, Sept. 24
  The open house provides an opportunity for vendors to establish new relationships – or strengthen existing relationships – with LCRA staff and key LCRA contractors. Vendors also have the opportunity to:
  • Explore new and existing business opportunities throughout LCRA’s organization.
  • Participate in roundtable sessions with LCRA staff and key LCRA contractors.
  • Register on LCRA’s vendor database or update your existing vendor information.

“Our annual vendor open house has opened doors for many businesses,” said Al Beavers, manager of LCRA’s Supplier Diversity program. “Thirty percent of the vendors who attended last year’s open house were awarded contracts with LCRA.”

Look for online registration information in August.
