OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
Advertisements: During FY 2008, the TLC ran print advertisements to promote its HUB program
and to publicize minority/HUB outreach events in minority-owned newspapers. Examples of the
types of advertising placed are available in Appendix F (page 27).
Outreach Materials: The TLC provided information to minority businesses and HUBs that were in-
terested in doing business with the agency. This included information regarding the agency's procure-
ments, and contacts for both agency staff and TLC prime contractors.
Web site: Information about the TLC's Minority/HUB Program is available via the agency's Web site
(www.txlottery.org), which also provides links to Statewide HUB Program information.
Forums: In accordance with legislative mandates, TLC staff participated in conferences, forums and
vendor fairs to provide information regarding the agency and its procurement opportunities. As part
of the TLC's outreach program, staff attended Economic Opportunity Forums (EOFs) sponsored by
state agencies and/or other governmental entities. In addition, staff participated in numerous confer-
ences and events coordinated by small, minority- and woman-owned business organizations. A sum-
mary of the agency's outreach efforts is provided in Appendix C (page 24) of this report.
The TLC conducted one of its most important outreach activities, the Texas Lottery Commission
Annual HUB Forum, on July 10, 2008, in Austin. The forum drew minority- and woman-owned
companies from throughout the state. Texas Lottery Commission presenters provided an overview of
the agency's procurement opportunities and processes, as well as other information to assist HUBs.
In addition, at the FY 2008 HUB Forum, the agency offered roundtable networking sessions for the
third consecutive year. Attendees had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with agency management
and staff, as well as with representatives from of the TLC's prime contractors. The roundtable format
was very popular with the vendors who attended the forum, and positive feedback was received.
Subcontracting Opportunities: In FY 2008, the TLC continued to identify subcontracting op-
portunities for minority/HUB vendors, and subcontracting expenditures paid to minority-owned
businesses increased during the report period.
In accordance with Texas Government Code, Section 2161.065, all state agencies with biennial
budgets that exceed $10 million are required to have a Mentor-Protege Program. The purpose of the
Mentor-Protege Program is to foster long-term relationships between prime contractors and HUBs.
The ultimate goal of the program is to provide developmental assistance to HUBs that will potential-
ly increase their ability to contract directly with the state and/or to obtain subcontract opportunities
under a state contract.
The TLC had five mentor-protege relationships during FY 2008 (see Appendix D). The Mentor-Pro-FISCAL YEAR 2008 MINORITY/HUB ACCOMPLISHMENTS
