From the Editor: The Fall Issue – The Largest Yet
Welcome to the third issue of MBEConnect Profiles magazine. The Fall Issue is being released during an especially active time for supplier diversity events. MBEConnect is proud to serve as a media sponsor for both the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) National Convention and MBDA’s Minority Enterprise Development Week in Washington, D.C. We are also extremely happy to have the USHCC serve as the sponsor for this issue of MBEConnect Profiles.
This is our biggest issue to date, not only in terms of the amount of content, but also the value of the material. Within this issue you will find 19 business profiles, two certification partner organization profiles and five articles. As always, we are extremely proud to feature each diverse business, organization, corporation and supplier diversity professional.
The original articles in this issue provide powerful insight into important aspects of the diverse business world: connecting readers to government contracts, a major supplier diversity program and exporting. Firsthand interviews in this issue present a wealth of information, including discussions with MBDA National Director David Hinson as well as key figures at the USHCC National Convention, the largest gathering of Hispanic business leaders in the country.
Additional value can be found in the increased number of interactive components used throughout this issue; videos, audio clips, documents, links and social media buttons can be found in articles, profiles and ads. As you can see, MBEConnect Profiles continues to evolve, develop and grow far beyond the printed page.
