Annual Construction Partners
Welcome to WRMSDC's Construction Industry Hub
The construction industry was the first to rebound after the pandemic, bringing with it a surge of opportunities for businesses across the sector. At the Western Regional Minority Supplier Development Council (WRMSDC), we recognized the importance of ensuring that diverse suppliers could access and thrive in this growing market. To support this mission, we launched the Construction Steering Committee and the Construction Working Group, two pivotal initiatives aimed at creating pathways for diverse businesses to participate in the industry’s resurgence.
Our success in the construction sector has set the standard for other industries. By fostering collaboration and providing strategic resources, we have established a model that empowers diverse suppliers to connect with key players, secure contracts, and grow their businesses.
