Vick Strategic

The Mid-States staff has been very helpful in providing resources for us to identify qualified vendors. They also make it easy for all supplier professionals to not only engage with Mid-States certified companies but other suppliers they would not have connected to without Mid-States events. This makes my job easier and helps me meet our business goals.
