OAME Honors Otak and DAY CPM With Construction Company Award of the Year
October, 2020
The Oregon Association of Minority Entrepreneurs (OAME) has selected DAY CPM, a division of Otak, as Construction Company of the Year. This award recognizes the commitment and advancement Day CPM and Otak have achieved in providing meaningful opportunities to minority, women, POC, and MWESBSDV, businesses, and employees. DAY CPM’s strong partnership with OAME to achieve its mission to promote and develop entrepreneurship and economic development for ethnic minorities in Oregon and SW Washington is another factor that stood out in an industry of committed peers.
Formed in 1987, OAME is a non-profit, tax-exempt, organization whose 850 members include entrepreneurs, public agencies, large businesses, and partner non-profits. The organization provides free technical assistance and business counseling and has the overarching goal of eliminating discrimination and racism under its motto “Everybody’s In, Nobody’s Out.”
DAY CPM has long recognized that construction is a sector ripe with opportunity for minorities and women to grow into industry leaders. Otak has always been driven to create inclusive communities in the projects it undertakes and is proud to be recognized for creating a business community that is also inclusive. We show the values we hold in our own workplace are the same as those we take to our work.
The award was presented during OAME’s 32nd Annual Conference, entitled “Diversity is Practiced” held virtually on Thursday, October 8.
