The Florida Minority Supplier Development Council  (www.fmsdc.org) serves the North, West, Central and Space Coast regions of Florida.

This organization registers minority owned businesses, and also works with large corporations to establish supplier diversity programs that save them significant costs all along their value chain.

Hilton Ross-Munro helps businesses to register with FMSDC if they do not have the time or skilled (wo)manpower to do the paperwork.

FMSDC members are introduced to supplier diversity advocates, and attend regular meetings with large corporations from their home areas, to discover how they can work with both these corporations and other suppliers to the corporations.

FMSDC monitors and recognizes all members for their success in working with minority-owned suppliers. The major awards ceremony is held during the annual congress in Orlando.

We encourage all minority businesses to take the time to work with FMSDC, and all corporations to review the many benefits of a supplier diversity program, in cost saving, service and innovation.
