Part of the requirements of the Review was to give a history of the Personnel Office. A history was compiled and included as part of the Peer Review. For posterity purposes I felt it would be fun and informative to update the history from where it left off at FY’01 in the Peer Review to the current FY’21. So this document is essentially in two parts: (1) The FY’01 Peer Review as written at the time and (2) events as they unfolded from FY’02-FY’21.Item Insights on Minority Business Growth: A Report on the Growth-Related Challenges Experienced by Minority-Owned Businesses in Texas(2022-12) Daspit, Joshua J.; Wan, Maggie; Konopaske, Robert; Anderson, Sidney; Lopez, Omar S.Data show that minority businesses do not grow at the same rate as non-minority businesses.
