Join us in celebrating MED Week 2008, October 6-10, 2008.
Since 1983, the President of the United States has proclaimed a National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week observance to recognize the outstanding achievements of Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and to honor those corporations and financial institutions that support minority business development. "The Power of Strategic Alliances in a Global Economy" is the theme for the 2998 National Minority Enterprise Development Week (MED Week).
The mission of Minority Enterprise Development Week in the City of Durham is to recognize and celebrate the contributions of minority and women businesses to the economic vibrancy of our community and promote their continued growth and success. The City of Durham’s Department of Equal Opportunity/Equity Assurance (EO/EA) in partnership with Duke University/Duke Medicine, Durham County Government, the N.C. Institute of Minority Economic Development, the N.C. Minority Business Enterprise Center, Skanska USA Building, Inc., The Durham Chamber of Commerce, Balfour Beatty Construction, Bovis Lend Lease and Sun Trust Bank are working to create a successful and meaningful MED Week experience.
