Minority Business Enterprise Coalition

The purpose of the Minority Business Enterprise Coalition (MBEC) is to facilitate business opportunities and market share growth for minority business enterprises (MBE) through the interaction of corporate members and advocate organizations. MBEC strives to be an organization providing best-in-class advocacy, education, technical assistance and training for MBE growth and development, along with promoting equal access to opportunities throughout Nevada. MBEC seeks to achieve this by addressing the needs of corporate advocates and MBEs through evaluation, education, training and development. It provides effective leadership targeted at promoting successful corporate/MBE relationships that ensure business opportunities for MBEs. In addition to the affinity program, MBEC provides a series of seminars and workshops focusing on business management classes such as, business strategies, financial accountability, and management techniques, giving our minority contractors the knowledge and expertise needed to engage and negotiate with major corporations. A grant is awarded to those who complete the training program that will be used to fund the MBEC certification.
