Greetings!

“Connecting Relationships, Building Bridges, Gaining Wins”

The theme of this year’s Business Opportunity Fair, not only highlights the exciting changes taking place in our Council, it also exemplifies the energizing economic renaissance of an entire region not experienced in more than 50 years.

Relationships (Connecting) facilitated and nurtured by EMSDC position minority businesses and corporate partners to capitalize on these changes by working together (Building). The work that MBEs and corporations/institutions do together, form the basis of sustained economic growth (Gaining) in the community, region and beyond. Your participation at the Fair today may be your entry into forming new relationships as markets shift and new opportunities present themselves. We encourage you to put your business development hats on today and go to work for your business.

In all things and in all ways the EMSDC is committed to connecting businesses to opportunities for the purpose of creating sustainable economies. We are your Council and we are here to serve. Together we move our communities forward, creating legacies of innovation, leadership, empowerment and wealth.

Yours in Business Success!
