The Carolinas Connection: From Carolinas Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc.

by 10/28/2013

These are exciting times at the CVMSDC. As you know, NMSDC and our network are transitioning and our council continues to be successful and ahead of plan in the process. Recognizing that change is always a challenge, we are excited to embrace the new opportunities to create wealth for our MBEs and grow revenue for our corporate members. As you know, the network transitions are to benefit our corporate members and certified MBEs. Our corporate members and our MBEs benefits are: 

 As a combined council serving; North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia we are organizing a structure that reflect our geographical diversity, enhances our cultural competence and deliver effective and efficient services to corporate members and MBEs across all markets.

I want to thank all of our corporate members, MBEs and our strategic partners for their leadership throughout the restructure process and the tremendous commitment you continue to make in supplier development. In closing, as we move forward to finalize 2013, a high level view of our strategic plan is included and details of our long range plans we will share in 2014.

Best,

Eric Watson
President & CEO
