Our Mission is to serve,

as an effective resource to aid and assist these Diverse Small Businesses, by providing a wide array of useful tools and information in the areas of networking, recruitment, communication, outreach and online education. Each of these distinct business categories has a specific section dedicated to assist and educate.

Supplier Diversity News is designed to provide information, provide online educational resources, instructions and news for the purpose of assisting our SDVOBs, MBEs and WOSBs


For Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses:
We recognize that the needs of our Veterans are not uniform or static but everchanging. Statistics show us that our Veterans coming back Iraq and Afghanistan are likely to encounter obstacles and challenges yet to be fully realized. With 1 out of 5 Vets possibly suffering from either Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injury and sometimes even both. These are our Brothers and Sisters that have worn the uniform and suffered some type of service connected injury and they now require our help. By learning more about the formation, development and management of  Diverse Small Business we help our Service Disabled Veterans that have either chosen self-employment or for whom self-employment is their only reasonable alternative due to the injuries they have incurred in service while members of the United States Armed Forces.


The tools we use and the lessons we offer:

These may well turn out to be essential aids to Diverse Small Business and all SDVOBs, MBEs and WOSBs. Allowing the Diverse Small Business to increase their stability, profitability and sustainability. We place special emphasis on networking, supportive resources, online education and developing collaborative partnerships and sponsors.
