SPONSORSHIP2015

The relationship between corporate America and Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American-owned businesses is strong—and getting stronger. Indeed, for more than 40 years, NMSDC has brought many tangible benefits to our member corporations and minority businesses.

The 2015 NMSDC Leadership Awards offer an opportunity to join more than 1,200 guests—including corporate leaders and minority business owners—in celebration of the corporate and minority business leaders who have a positive, profitable impact on the global corporate supply chain and communities of color around the world.

These inspiring leaders underscore the value minority businesses bring to the global corporate supply chain, and the important role they play in our nation’s economic growth.

To learn more about the exciting sponsorship opportunities for the 2015 NMSDC Leadership Awards as well as Early Bird benefits, contact Maureen Simonette, Director of Development and Member Services, (Maureen.Simonette@NMSDC.org or 646-634-6133) or Christina Santos, Manager of Development and Member Services, (Christina.Santos@NMSDC.org or 212-944-2430 ext. 143).
