Welcome to the second issue of MBEConnect Profiles magazine. The first issue of MBEConnect Profiles was a tremendous success, and we’re certain that this issue will continue the new tradition of excellence in the supplier diversity community.
We are extremely proud to feature all of the businesses included in the profiles section. These inspirational companies are known as thought leaders and are truly among the best and most innovative M/WBEs in the country. This issue also highlights two outstanding certification partners that serve as true champions in the advancement of M/WBEs.
In addition to these profiles, this issue features articles written by guest authors and M/WBE entrepreneurs Heather Tzall and Darrius Wright. Their efforts help MBEConnect Profiles to further its goals of in-depth knowledge sharing and community building through collaboration.
MBEConnect has been placing special emphasis on social media in recent months, thanks to a multi-faceted collaboration with WBEC-West. Together MBEConnect and WBEC-West have created a webinar, podcast series and blog series to help share social media knowledge and strategies with diverse businesses. This collaboration culminates with the WBENC National Conference, held June 20 – 23 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Just like MBEConnect Profiles, social media can create a stronger and better supplier diversity community, and sharing this knowledge is the first step to success.
