The firm submitted its response in partnership with Clutch (workforce training), Scout (AI-powered grant services), and Runyon Saltzman (media and design).
Additional Long Beach accomplishments include the federally mandated Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment for Long Beach City College (2024) and ongoing strategic advisory services for LBWIN since 2021.
