Since 2008, the Minority Business Executive Program (MBEP) at the University of Washington has been a catalyst for empowering diverse-owned businesses to thrive in competitive markets. This impactful program is made possible through the collaboration of the University of Washington Foster School of Business Executive Education, the Consulting and Business Development Center, Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council (NWMMSDC), corporations, and government partners.
MBEP’s success speaks for itself: alumni businesses experience an average revenue growth of over 10%, solidifying their roles as key suppliers to leading corporations nationwide. This program not only benefits diverse business owners but also enhances performance for the corporate sponsors who invest in their development.
At the NWMMSDC, we’re proud to be a co-creator of this effort to elevate the contributions and competitiveness of minority business enterprises. Thanks to the generous donations raised at our Golf Tournament Scholarship Fundraiser, we had the privilege of sponsoring Red Door Collaborative to participate in the Minority Business Executive Program (MBEP) at the University of Washington Foster School of Business.
By investing in transformative programs like MBEP, we equip minority business enterprises (MBEs) with the tools, strategies, and networks to achieve sustainable growth and long-term success.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our donors, participants, and corporate partners for making this achievement possible. Together with your support, we’re driving economic opportunity and empowering MBEs like Red Door Collaborative to thrive in competitive markets.
NWMMSDC’s President & CEO, Karla Malacon, had the honor of presenting MBEP certificates at the recent graduation ceremony, personally congratulating program participants. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Chris Telfer, owner of Red Door Collaborative, for successfully completing the MBEP program!
