✨ Many of you have bravely ventured beyond your comfort zones to jump and advocate for greater equity, inclusion, and access for all. Our Minority Business Enterprises have shown remarkable courage to be more innovative, color outside of the lines, and be vulnerable. Now, it’s time to celebrate! Join us for our Annual Holiday Celebration & Fun-Raiser where we will honor the incredible contributions of corporations, MBEs, and community partners who are jumping to lead the charge in Supplier Diversity/Inclusion. Together, we’ll recognize their bold efforts to uplift and empower minority businesses and strengthen economic opportunities in communities of color.
✨ We'll also recognize Rose Davis, who is retiring after more than 9 years of exceptional service as the Director of Corporate Services & Minority Business Development (Nevada) at WRMSDC.
The best way to make sure children have access to food, safety, and education is to ensure that parents and caregivers have good jobs. As a family’s income increases, their exposure to violence, poverty, and the likelihood of incarceration decreases. WRMSDC’s programs drive the job and wealth creation essential to thriving underserved communities. Visit us at wrmsdc.org.
