MBe-Source is a web-based resource in development that will provide corporations access to information on the top 100+ minority firms located in the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will. Designed in collaboration with the Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and the Chicago Minority Business Development Council (CMBDC), MBe-Source will provide minority firms of scale the opportunity to illustrate capacity, core competencies, industries served and success stories that highlight where the firm’s value made a significant impact on client organizations. This resource will support Chicago United’s Forward Five Initiative. Five Forward is a strategic initiative that enlists the commitment of CEOs of mid- to large-sized corporations in the Chicago metropolitan area to establish or expand business relationships with five current and/or new local minority firms. The initiative is designed to build a stronger regional economy and minority businesses of scale. |
