Since 1983, the U.S. President has proclaimed a national MED Week observance to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of minority business enterprises and to honor those corporations and financial institutions supporting minority business development. Durham’s MED Week celebrates the achievements of minority entrepreneurs and affirms government, business and community organizations' commitment to the principle of equal opportunity.
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. Through a weeklong series of educational outreach and recognition events, we proudly support the development of diverse businesses in Durham.
Sponsorship of the 2009 Minority Enterprise Development Week builds excellent visibility for your business in the community at large, and to the many business leaders and decision makers who participate in the week’s events. Sponsoring Minority Enterprise Development Week is a great way to associate your business with a positive, proactive movement for the celebration of minority entrepreneurship.
