WelcomeThe NC MWBE Coordinators’ Network (“The Network”) invites you to attend its 34th Annual Professional Development Conference - the Power of Influence. The Network, a think tank of economic inclusion professionals across the state, is committed to ensuring that all segments of the community have an equitable opportunity to participate in procurement and contracting. As advocates, we often rely on the power of influence to support and to advance the work of equity and inclusion. We invite you to join us for this two-day virtual event on November 19 and 20 where we will unpack tools and strategies to enhance your professional sphere of influence while connecting you with leaders and knowledge brokers in the equity space.

Serving as a trusted subject-matter-expert in public supplier diversity is the Network’s number one strategic priority for this year. It is our goal to harness the vast knowledge and expertise of our members to inform, to consult, and to collaborate in support of our membership and the advancement of minority business concerns. This year’s conference will be a power packed event designed to focus on strategic, intentional development and impact as individuals and as a collective. From learning program best practices to understanding mindset management to dissecting the latest legislative and executive proposals, the 2020 Conference promises to be enlightening and informative.

Your involvement and support will assist the Network in continuing to provide education and resources to its members, diverse firms, private companies and public institutions. Please consider becoming a sponsor to help us fulfill our mission and push forward in response to the changing economic landscape. Enclosed are the various sponsorship levels available and how to support.

Thanks so much for your continued engagement with the Network and your attendance at this year’s conference. We look forward to seeing you November 19 and 20!
