USMCA and its membership appreciate and value the strategic relationship with your firm. From the inception the member firms of USMCA have been supported by FHP's desire to assist the Board with building capacity for all of our minority owned businesses. Collectively, FHP and USMCA are enthusiastically embracing diversity in the industry through the genuine concept of building of capacity for USMCA firms from design-build via professional engineering/architectural scopes through construction management and completion of closeouts. Our collective clients are well served through this combined process of mutual respect and collaboration here in Chicago and beyond.

F.H. Paschen have invested in Revolution Workshop in order to ensure that underrepresented groups are able to benefit from the family sustaining wages that the construction industry offers. F.H. Paschen has hired three Revolution Workshop graduates, made a financial contribution, volunteered at practice interview days, introduced us to their peers in the industry, served on our Board of Directors, and provided critical feedback to continue to improve our programming. 

F.H. Paschen over the years has demonstrated a superior ability to include minorities in general and African American in particular on all level of their construction projects. Over the years AACA has had successful working relationships with the Paschen Team and feel this group will best serve the needs of the African American construction community and the goals of the City of Colleges of Chicago.

The Paschen Team has an outstanding vision for achieving a significant level of minority participation on this project. It is clear from past projects that these companies have the insight and commitment to hire individuals and businesses from the community within which they are working. They have a history of mentoring and supporting small businesses so that they can increase their participation goals.
