NMSDC is one of the leading business membership organizations in the country. Our approach is two-pronged. We help our corporate members develop, expand and promote minority business development programs. And we certify minority-owned businesses and provide them with access and the technical assistance, training and support they need to grow and market their services to prospective buyers.

The NMSDC Network, which includes 37 affiliated regional councils, matches more than 15,000 certified minority businesses (Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American) with its more than 3,500 corporate members, including America's top publicly-owned, privately-owned and foreign-owned companies, as well as universities, hospitals, and other major buying institutions.

Minority businesses are well positioned to contribute both to job growth and to the overall economic health of minority communities and the country as a whole.

NMSDC is in a unique position to further the aims of America's corporations and strengthen minority-owned businesses. We have a vision - a vision based on the simple but powerful act of partnership. Join us. Share our vision. Profit through partnership makes good business sense.
