Foster business relationships with certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and corporate members.

How do we do it?

We recruit major corporations, municipal, and state agencies that have potential for awarding contracts to MBE businesses.

We provide contacts for increasing contracts.

We certify minority businesses that are 51% owned and controlled by an ethnic minority and refer them to corporate members.

We hold quarterly meetings where certified MBEs have an opportunity to showcase their business an annual awards banquet golf outing and business opportunity expo. Each venue gives the MBEs the opportunity to meet and discuss contract opportunities.
