Corporations

Corporate Membership

There are two levels of corporate membership within our network – local and national. The NCMSDC welcomes corporations from Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin to join.

Local or regional corporations are encouraged to consider local corporate membership, while national or global businesses should consider national corporate membership. Corporate members benefit by expanding their link to the rapidly growing minority marketplace and gaining greater access to qualified suppliers.

Integrating minority suppliers increases competition, reduces costs, and improves quality, fostering stronger local economies. The NCMSDC assists corporations in developing, marketing, and enhancing their minority business development programs productively and efficiently.
