For 30 years, mcla has been a trusted partner to local, national, and international design firms and developers, helping bring innovative and award-winning projects to life. We are excited to announce that mcla has recently been certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by Prince George’s County’s Supplier Development and Diversity Division (SDDD). This new certification further strengthens our ability to support architects and developers in pursuing opportunities throughout the County.
This achievement builds upon our longstanding commitment to diversity certifications. Over the past four years, we have successfully maintained all certifications previously held under Maureen Moran’s leadership, ensuring continuity and continued value for our clients and project partners. As a majority woman owned firm, we are certified as:
- Certified Business Enterprise (CBE Small and Local) in the District of Columbia
- Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the Department of Social and Economic Mobility (DoSEM) in Maryland
- Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the Supplier Development and Diversity Division (SDDD) in Prince George’s County, Maryland
- Prequalified by the Office of Boards and Commissions (OBC) in the City of Baltimore, Maryland
- Small Business and Small Diverse Business (SB and SDB) certified in Pennsylvania
- Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) by the Metro Washington Airport Authority (MWAA)
- WBE/WOSB nationally by Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)
We see this as more than a benefit to our clients. It reflects our broader commitment to cultivating the next generation of design professionals by creating opportunities for young talent to flourish while supporting the academic pursuits of aspiring designers.
