As we unveil the Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council’s 50th Anniversary logo, we are proud to celebrate five decades of advancing minority business growth and economic opportunity. This milestone reflects the collective impact of our certified MBEs, corporate partners, board leaders, and staff who have shaped our work since 1976.

As Mid-States MSDC has grown, new regions have joined our footprint at different points in time. Central Illinois and Eastern Missouri represent important chapters in our 50-year story, expanding our reach and strengthening the impact we deliver across the region today. Each community has contributed to the relationships, results, and progress that define Mid-States MSDC.

As we commemorate this anniversary, we honor our history while continuing to build pathways for the future of minority business development.

Happy Thanksgiving.
