GREAT NEWS for all MBEs!

Learn about NMSDC's Certification Reimbursement Initiative. 

This program provides a way for minority business enterprises (MBEs) to eliminate the burden of the certification fee. Each business must meet the funding criteria of the funding sponsor company. Initial sponsors of the program include:

• JPMorgan Chase
• Lowe’s
• MassMutual
• Nielsen
• Omnicom

By removing cost as a barrier to entry, the Certification Reimbursement Initiative incentivizes MBE certification and exposes your business to the value of that certification in the programs, services, connections, and business opportunities that come with being a part of the NMSDC network.

Calling all MBEs:

Each affiliate regional council has a Minority Business Enterprise Input Committee (MBEIC) that consists of owners/executives of minority businesses elected by local NMSDC-certified MBEs. As a standing committee of the affiliate regional council's board of directors, the MBEIC provides constructive input, promotes council events and activities, develops programs, and serves as the liaison between corporate members, staff and MBEs.

If you are interested in the upcoming MBEIC Chair election, join us during this free webinar to learn more about the process.  Your support in the MBEIC is invaluable to all SMSDC stakeholders.
