SCMSDC is the region’s preeminent corporate membership organization committed to supplier diversity and the success of minority businesses.

The annual celebratory Supplier of the Year virtual event acknowledges these top-performing MBEs for their outstanding partnership and performance with corporate members and announces the winner(s) of the coveted Supplier of the Year award. This year was no exception in continuing the tradition of being a festive, high-energy, and celebratory event offering an afternoon filled with inspiration.

“We are thrilled to receive this award and immensely grateful for the honor,” says Diversity Professional CEO and President Melissa Simmons. “We thank SCMSDC for the recognition, American Honda for the nomination, and all of our partners and members through the years in the DEI and supplier diversity space. This is truly a celebration of the power of partnerships, and we are excited for what the future holds.”
