Membership Benefits

Reap the benefits by joining MMSDC!

Innovative networking programs, events, services and information are just a few of the local program opportunities MMSDC members receive. Aside from these offerings, there are numerous advantages that come with an annual membership. Diversity in your supplier base can be good for your bottom line while also meeting Tier I Supplier Diversity Objectives. Your business can use the strategic inclusion of minority suppliers in routine purchase decisions, which supports a better understanding of that segment of the consumer marketing segment. MMSDC membership is a way to help build the community’s economic base, adding to local job creation and reducing unemployment. You’ll create shared economic benefits with the largest and fastest-growing consumer market segment - simultaneously strengthening your public image.  

MMSDC offers corporate, government, and institutional members a variety of workshops and services that help strengthen their ties with minority-owned businesses. Corporate partners receive extensive training on:
  • Designing and implementing Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) programs.
    Reducing cost/supply base by leveraging minority businesses
  • Planning for a mentorship program.
  • Marketing procurement programs.
 

In addition to educational workshops, majority companies have access to:

  • An online directory of certified minority vendors listed by industry.
  • Over 50 Networking forums — such as the annual Michigan Minority Procurement Conference, general membership meetings, sector meetings, quarterly meetings, minority business network (MBN) and annual sports events — that enable buyers to cultivate business relationships with MBEs.
  • Opportunities for sharing best practices, trends, and innovative approaches that help increase the number of business partnerships with MBEs.
  • Over 20 Training offerings to help develop and refine minority vendor programs.
  • Consultative information, including helping member companies quantify — from a net-profit perspective — the value of their diversity procurement efforts.
  • Mentoring opportunities that coach companies as they leverage their size, competencies, buying power, and financial resources, helping MBEs expand their capacity and capabilities.
  • Tools and resources that support supplier-diversity program objectives.
  • Buyer/supplier forums that match corporate buyers and MBEs from the same industries to explore  business opportunities
