Become a Sponsor
The aspirational goals of the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council (“GNEMSDC”) include economic inclusion and minority business development. Annual Sponsors provide financial support of the mission of GNEMSDC, which allows us to improve our programmatic offerings for our corporate members and our certified MBEs. Annual Sponsors also receive extensive and valuable marketing benefits that result in an attractive and focused return on your investment in GNEMSDC.
During 2020, for the convenience of our various constituents, we will again consolidate the Awards Luncheon and the Business Opportunity Conference. Similarly, we will combine the Quarterly Meetings with our targeted Match Making events, and will have a continued commitment to MBE-to-MBE Match Making. We will also deploy technology to allow for efficient connections between our corporate stakeholders and our MBEs across our geographically expansive region.
Your annual sponsorship in 2020 is essential to the viability of GNEMSDC in providing the financial resources to continue:
- Certifying MBEs
- ConnectingMBEs and our corporate members, corporate members with each and smaller MBEs to larger MBEs
- Developing our MBEs
- Advocating in a variety of forums the importance to our economy of minority business development.
