Since 1982, the U.S. President has proclaimed a National MED Week observance to recognize the outstanding achievements of minority businesses and to honor those corporations and financial institutions that support minority business development. The national MED Week conference is held in Washington, DC each year and is the largest federally sponsored conference for minority entrepreneurs.
Western North Carolina has a long history of celebrating, educating and supporting minority entrepreneurs through regional MED Week events. Previous events have included awards banquets, networking events and a variety of workshops on marketing, starting a business, financing and doing business with the government.
