Dear HMSDC Community,

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Richard A. (Dick) Huebner, a cherished leader and dear friend, who passed away peacefully last night May 21, 2024.

Under Dick’s exceptional leadership, HMSDC has become one of the most recognized and respected business development organizations nationally. Over more than 31 years at the helm, Dick utilized his many strengths and expertise to create corporate opportunities and promote long-term, sustainable growth for minority businesses. He was not only a visionary leader, but a true mentor, coach, and friend dedicated to fostering business relationships and guiding numerous entrepreneurs to success.

Dick’s profound and lasting contributions to Houston’s small business community have opened doors to myriad partnerships and entrepreneurial initiatives. His efforts have resulted in numerous contracting opportunities for minority business owners and have successfully bridged the gap between large corporations and diverse suppliers from a wide spectrum of industries.

We extend our deepest condolences to Dick’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. As we mourn his loss so closely after the death of his wife Marsha in November of 2023, we also want to celebrate his remarkable legacy and the countless lives he touched with his consistently positive outlook and unwavering commitment to our mission and the growth of diverse businesses in Houston.

Currently, the family asks for a moment of privacy as they grieve and make arrangements. As details are shared with the HMSDC team, we will share with our Supplier Diversity Community.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Ingrid Robinson
President | CEO
