There are two levels of membership within our network – local and national, and the Mid-States MSDC welcomes all Central Illinois, Indiana, and Eastern Missouri corporations interested in corporate membership.
Corporations that are local or regional are encouraged to consider local corporate membership. Corporations that are national or global businesses are encouraged to consider national corporate membership.
Corporate members benefit by expanding their link to the rapidly growing minority marketplace and by gaining greater access to qualified suppliers to source. By integrating your supplier pool with minorities, you increase your competition, reduce cost and improve quality. This fosters a transitional relationship with stakeholders that can lead to a stronger local economy. Mid-States MSDC is a resource that can assist corporations in developing, marketing and enhancing their minority business development program productively and efficiently.
