Founded in 1973, the Louisiana Minority Supplier Development Council (formerly Gulf South Minority Supplier Development Council) was formed to assist major corporations in developing, enhancing and expanding minority vendor programs by integrating minority business enterprises (MBEs) into the corporate purchasing mainstream. LAMSDC serves the State of Louisiana and is one of 39 regional minority purchasing councils affiliated with the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). This network serves to promote procurement opportunities among the Council's minority suppliers and nurture relationships between buyers and sellers that increase the number of minority firms actively engaged in corporate supply chains.
The main objective of LAMSDC is to execute the Councils aggressive outreach programs, which help to identify and certify minority suppliers as well as acquaint them with representatives of the corporate purchasing community. LAMSDC annually hosts the Louisiana Economic Opportunity Conference & Expo, Louisiana's premiere conference on supplier diversity. This two day conference allows maximum opportunities for networking, discussion and face to face exchanges between corporate buyers and MBEs.
The LAMSDC Board of Directors and staff are committed to fulfilling the responsibilities of providing opportunities for minority business enterprises and to establishing mutually beneficial relationships with corporate partners.
