Hawaii Latin Chamber Co-Sponsors Minority Business Certification Workshops

Honolulu, Hawaii – Latin Business Hawaii LBH is co-sponsoring a workshop series with the Northern California Minority Supplier Development Council NCMSDC, a 501c3 non-profit.

The NCMSDC certifies minority businesses in Hawaii — Hawaiian, Asian Pacific, Hispanic, African-American, Asian Indian & Native American — as Minority Business Enterprises MBEs.

This certification qualifies them to become minority vendors for national corporations. As a result, NCMSDC and LBH are co-sponsoring a six-workshop series, at the Hawaii Women’s Business Center, from August 24th to August 26th.

There will be a morning and evening session for each of these three different workshops:

“Are You Ready to Do Business with Corporate America?” will teach minority businesses in Hawaii how to become certified as a Minority Business Enterprise.

“How to Navigate Corporate America: A Corporate Straight Talk Session.” The Walt Disney Company, Wyndham Worldwide and Johnson Controls, Inc. will explain why they seek MBEs to do business with.

“Doing Business with Disney & Johnson Controls, Inc.” will provide an opportunity for MBEs must be certified already that are interested in discussing current contract opportunities these corporations have in Hawaii – and on the mainland.

The mission of Latin Business Hawaii is to serve as a bridge that links Hawaii’s Hispanic business, professional, and managerial communities, with “mainstream” communities – in Hawaii, nationally and internationally — in order to create and promote economic, social and cultural development.
