Staying Engaged

Celebrate Community

Business Diversity Week (formerly MED Week) workshops provide industry-relevant education to small business owners and government and corporate diversity practitioners.

In addition to workshops for small businesses and diversity practitioners, the annual awards program recognizes minority business owners and diversity practitioners that have demonstrated growth and leadership in our community. This years schedule of events will offer attendees valuable opportunities to network and develop professional skills and partnerships. See details below.
