Baptist Health South Florida expands reach into the community In the spirit of collaboration and community outreach, Baptist Health South Florida signs long-time affiliate Southern Florida Minority Supplier Development Council into the Sponsors of Affiliate Program. The Southern Florida Minority Supplier Development Council (SFMSDC) was founded in 1975 by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Miami Progress Foundation for the purpose of fostering the development of minority-owned businesses throughout South Florida. Central to our mission is the principle that networks and relationships among and between minority businesses and Corporate and Government buyers build businesses. The Council's main function is to register and certify minority-owned businesses. The process ensures that these businesses are 51% minority-owned and operated in accordance with the guidelines set by the National Minority Supplier Development Council. The SFMSDC is one of 24 regional councils affiliated with the NMSDC. In order to more effectively carry out its mission, the SFMSDC provides support to corporate members and MBE affiliates from three offices in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Our service area includes Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe, Collier, Martin, St. Lucie, Lee, Hendry, Glades, Charlotte, Sarasota, Desoto, Highlands, Manatee, Hardee and Okeechobee Counties. Next month, April 14th and 15th, the SFMSDC is hosting their 30th Annual Business Expo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At the conference, all can learn about the $13.7 Billion in business opportunities, powerful workshops, one-on-one meetings with buying decision-makers, and gain knowledge of the billions in construction opportunities at Hard Hat Row.
