Tennessee Minority Supplier Development Council Information

TSMSDC is expanding and doing exciting things to help its Corporate Members. We also serve as pioneers in helping to scale MBE suppliers. There are many agencies which promote themselves and the cause of Supplier Diversity , but TSMSDC exists as the MBE advocate. We take the ground-up approach which consists of one-on-one connections with corporate partners and MBE suppliers. Our mission is "To ensure the development of mutually beneficial relationships between ethnic minority businesses (suppliers) and major corporations (purchasers), by promoting and expanding business and procurement opportunities as they strive to be the product and service providers of choice". TSMSDC maintains a strong commitment to economic parity by informing MBE suppliers of corporate procurement opportunities, educating our geographic footprint on the purpose and benefits of minority business development. In addition, we look to inspire successful corporations and entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries to work together, to build trust and business-to-business collaborative connections that lead to long-term, mutually beneficial economic success.
