The NC MWBE Coordinators’ Network (“The Network”) invites you to attend its 36th Annual Professional Development Conference – Hidden Figures: Shining a Light on the Entrepreneurs of the East!
We welcome you to join us in Rocky Mount, NC at the Rocky Mount Event Center for a two-day event November 16 and 17. Like the “Hidden Figures” of cinema, minority entrepreneurs in the East are responsible for the launch and landing of principal projects, delivered services and best in class goods. The Network is thrilled to provide this opportunity to connect minority firms with partners across the state. And, we are also excited to uncover top notch skills development and knowledge enhancement for our premier group of diversity professionals.
We welcome our members, diversity professionals, business supportive services, and our VIP minority and women-owned business community.
Keynote: Dr. Henry McKoy, Presidential Appointee of the Biden Administration
