  What we do…
  

• Foster business relationships with certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and corporate members.
  
  How do we do it?
  

• We recruit major corporations, municipal, and state agencies that have potential for awarding contracts to MBE businesses.
  
• We provide contacts for increasing contracts.
  
• We certify minority businesses that are 51% owned and controlled by an ethnic minority and refer them to corporate members.
  
• We hold quarterly meetings where certified MBEs have an opportunity to showcase their business; an annual awards banquet; golf outing and business opportunity expo. Each venue gives the MBEs the opportunity to meet and discuss contract opportunities.
  
• In 2007, there were 450 certified MBEs and 210 Corporate members. The 450 MBEs reported gross sales of over $11 billion.
