About the Million Dollar Circle of Excellence

The AZHCC in collaboration with our MBDA Business Center and other partner agencies will once again celebrate the collaborative AZ Million Dollar Circle of Excellence (AZ MDCE). The AZMDCE, 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.

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/BDS21SPONSORSHIP to learn more.

We look forward to your participation!
