Objective:  

SRMSDC, headquartered in New Orleans, is our stakeholders' important outreach and economic development partner.  SRMSDC helps identify MBEs who have the potential to participate in corporate supply chains which continue to create parity in diverse communities. The primary objective is to provide information to MBEs so they can prepare and manage future business opportunities and create an ecosystem for MBEs and corporations to do business with each other.  

 

Attire

The recommended attire for all events is business casual—branded apparel when appropriate.

Expected Weather Forecast:   

The average temperature in Birmingham, Alabama, is approximately 75 to 90 degrees during this time.  It is usually very humid, and Birmingham is near the Gulf and the Atlantic.  Hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th.

About the SRSMDC:  

The Southern Region Minority Supplier Development Council (SRMSDC) provides advocacy and business development services to minority-owned business enterprises.  We strive to reduce the wealth gap between historically underrepresented ethnic minorities and non-ethnic minorities by providing education, training, and business advocacy for traditionally underrepresented ethnic minority businesses looking to expand their businesses and with large buying organizations interested in diversifying their supply chain to reduce waste, minimize cost and expand their buying behavior perspectives.  We are one of 23 regional affiliates of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).  SRMSDC services Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama. Mr. Alvin-o Williams is the President.
