You can’t solve a problem on the same level that it was created. You have to rise above it to the next level.- Albert Einstein 6 Our Mission The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) is in its fourth decade as the nation’s most dynamic force in developing successful relationships between America’s top corporations and supply-chain partners from the Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American communities. Chartered in 1972, NMSDC has established a network of corporate members, now numbering 1,750. Among them are America’s top companies – publicly, privately and internationally owned – as well as universities, hospitals and other institutions with supply-chain needs. NMSDC connects these corporate members with qualified minority-owned suppliers of all sizes – Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) – that meet a high standard of excellence. NMSDC ensures that standard in four essential steps: Certify Introduce and facilitate a mutually Advocate beneficial business Develop relationship between MBEs and corporate members. Examine and investigate each MBE, verifying its viability, its practices and its capacity for growth. Connect Promote and strengthen a universal understanding Assist and enable of the value of minority MBEs in expanding supplier development. their visions and their capabilities to meet the needs of corporate members. From its headquarters in New York, NMSDC coordinates its work nationally through 24 regional councils, each of which certifies, develops, connects and advocates for the relationship between MBEs and corporate members in its region. Passion inspires the mission of NMSDC. Perspective builds a firm foundation, in fact and perception, for NMSDC’s goals. Progress drives those enduring goals, in an evolving and ever-expanding business universe. 7 { NMSDC Connects } THE FACTS: NMSDC BY THE NUMBERS 1,750 12,026 Corporations Nationally-Certified MBEs Making Connections NMSDC connects 1,750 corporations (including 472 national corporate members and 1,278 local corporate members) with more than 12,000 nationally-certified Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American-owned businesses. 37% 31% 14% 13% 5% MBE ETHNICITY: Thirty-seven percent (4,450) of certified MBEs are Black American; the next largest group represented is Hispanic, at 31% (3,728).
