The National Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc.(R) (NMSDC(R)) today announced its 2008 Regional Minority Supplier of the Year recipients. The 16 outstanding minority-owned businesses were selected from a group of 75 nominees from across the country, and represent a cross-section of industries ranging from architecture, beauty products, cleaning/painting, construction, energy and fine art to food services, general contracting, IT consulting and solutions, staffing and transportation/logistics. NMSDC will present awards to each regional winner on Wednesday, October 29, at the 2008 NMSDC Conference and Business Opportunity Fair in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"These regional winners are among the nation's best suppliers, period," said NMSDC President Harriet R. Michel. "Their corporate clients are some of the world's largest multinational companies, and expect first-rate quality, top performance and efficiency from their suppliers. Our regional winners consistently meet and exceed those client expectations and add immeasurable value to those corporate partnerships."
The 16 regional winners are divided into four classes based on annual sales, and are nominated by their corporate customers. NMSDC-certified Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American businesses are evaluated on the basis of business growth, development and performance, community service and the ability to overcome challenges brought on by the company owner's heritage or background.
One regional winner from each of the four classes will be named a National Winner at the Awards Banquet held during the NMSDC Conference. The Conference theme is "Minority Businesses and Corporations: Playing to Win." More than 7,000 minority business owners and corporate purchasing executives are expected to attend the four-day conference, which begins on Sunday, October 26, and continues through Wednesday, October 29, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
