Becoming A Member Is Easy
The requirements for corporate members becoming a part of the MMSDC are simple and straightforward. Generally speaking, the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council welcomes majority-owned companies, educational institutions, and government agencies that demonstrate their commitment to minority supplier development by actively growing MBEs, and reporting their minority spending activity throughout the term of their membership.
Active corporate participation is critical for our organization to be successful. Thus, we require active participation from our corporate members – we have moved well beyond talking points to actually delivering on our promise to promote economic growth throughout ethnic communities. By supporting, yet holding our members accountable to their stated ambitions, we currently deliver over $36 billion in economic output annually.
