HMSDC

After an eight-month national search, the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council (HMSDC) announces the selection of Ingrid M. Robinson as the new President of Houston’s premiere minority business development organization.

Effective, May 1 2016, Robinson will succeed the retiring president, Richard (Dick) Huebner, who dedicated more than 31 years of service to the organization, building its reputation as one of the most respected and active councils in the nation. Huebner will stay on for two months to assist in the transition.

Due to the recent weather conditions in the Houston area Blackhorse Golf Course is underwater. The course is not in any condition for HMSDC to host a first class tournament like the golfers have grown accustom to attending. The tournament will be rescheduled again. A new date will be announced within the upcoming weeks.

The powerful, new online certificate program is a partnership of Rutgers University and Houston Minority Supplier Development Council (HMSDC). With easy-to-use learning tools, you’ll develop a customized Capacity Building Model (CBM) program with the power to increase the strength and impact of a supplier development program. Through course assignments, you’ll build strategic alliances as you design a smart, forward-thinking supplier development program through CBM

Early in 2015 the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council (HMSDC) retained The Institute for Thought Diversity to assist the Council in conducting a study to assess the economic impact that HMSDC certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) have on Houston, the most populous city in the state of Texas, and the fourth most populous in the United States. This impact includes the increased business activity created by the 677 MBEs of HMSDC, the jobs that are maintained/created as a result of this activity throughout the various sectors of the state’s economy, and the incremental business taxes that are generated at the local, state and national levels.
