Minority Business Accelerator

The MBA & Corporations

The MBA works with local companies to increase their utilization of minority-owned businesses and boost their diversity spend in the region by helping identify and connect with minority suppliers who are capable of meeting their needs for products and/or services.

Corporations contribute to the success of the MBA in multiple ways:
