Our Actions Support Our Words
A Special Message from NCMSDC President Scott A. Vowels
As 2010 comes to a close, it is time for reflection to see where we  have been, introspection to make sure we are comfortable with the direction in which we are going, and visualization to see where we are going in the future. As I humbly look back on NCMSDC's work in 2010, I see an organization that has strengthened its roots and made major inroads within its Northern California and Hawaii footprint. Today, we have hundreds of MBEs doing business with Corporate America and with each other, along with several hundred more that--with a little fine-tuning and support--have the great potential to begin doing business with Corporate America in 2011. I welcome you to join me in some reflection, introspection, and visualization of the Council's success in 2010 and the path that we will follow in the new year... <Join Me>
