This year we invite all economic development organizations and agencies to join us in celebrating an Arizona Statewide “Minority Enterprise Development Month” during the month of September.

We expect some of the state’s top entrepreneurs and procurement executives, community leaders, industry leaders, and public officials to attend and gain the latest business insights and best practices on diversity and inclusion.

The annual Business Diversity Summit in August provides the ideal platform to facilitate a meaningful engagement with W/MBEs. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with W/MBEs in Arizona, now 120,000 strong! Sponsorship opportunities are available. Please visit: https://bit.ly/BDS24SPONSORSHIPS to learn more.

About the Million Dollar Circle of Excellence

The AZHCC in collaboration with our Arizona MBDA Business Center and other partner agencies will once again celebrate the collaborative AZ MDCE. The AZ MDCE, program, spotlights and recognizes companies that have spent at least $1 million in procurement with minority and women-owned suppliers in the last fiscal year within Arizona.

The Business Diversity Program will be followed with a digital recognition campaign. The combination of initiatives provides valuable tools to small business, highlights their achievements, as well as corporate investment in supplier diversity, actively pairs buyers and suppliers, and provides insight into companies leading the way in Diversity & Inclusion.

2024 Million Dollar Circle of Excellence
