Learn From the Experts

Nina Moseley
Senior Director, Division of Minority and Women Business Development
New Jersey Department of the Treasury

Under her leadership as senior director, the division issued an annual procurement report of activity across 109+ state agencies.  She also centralized and introduced a new array of services on the web.

Nina’s second area of responsibility is registering/certifying all businesses that want to qualify as a Small Business and/or a Minority/Women owned business. These credentials (SBE) are needed to compete under the State Small Business Set Aside Act.  The portfolios headed by Nina led to her being appointed to spearhead a state wide task force reviewing all of the small business rules and regulations. Major changes emulating from that responsibility resulted in a more business friendly, less red tape environment for SMWBEs.
