April 21, 2022 Dear Patrons: Welcome to the 29th Annual Virtual Impact Awards Gala.

This occasion celebrates supplier diversity at its best. The role of the TriState Minority Supplier Development Council (TSMSDC) in shaping the growth and development of minority businesses takes center stage for this year’s awards presentation.

The Board of Directors and staff are honored to have you join us to celebrate the remarkable achievements of corporate members and certified minority businesses across our 3-state footprint, which includes Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. We remain the connecting link to profitable and successful business relationships among our stakeholders—locally, regionally and nationally.

The Council is proud to present this premier event dedicated to honoring a diverse array of minority businesses, corporate members, and individuals that have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to a better and more inclusive business marketplace.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our generous sponsors, who help to make this event possible. Their very substantial support and commitment gives us the much-needed resources to advance our overarching mission.

Another important segment of the celebration of awards features the TMSDC Education Foundation. Its mission is to recognize outstanding graduating high school students, and to provide scholarships to advance higher education as a result of the generous contributions we receive each year. We are proud to announce that this year’s donors contributed $118,500 toward scholarships which will be presented this evening to 14 well-deserved students.

Corporations, minority businesses, and individuals make it all possible. We gratefully acknowledge In Full Motion, Inc. for its outstanding role in providing enriched ACT test-taking preparation and counseling services. Congratulations to the exceptional scholarship recipients.

We salute all award winners. By your devotion to the common purpose of business enterprise, and philanthropy, you continue to make an indelible impact on our economy and the community-at-large.

Helping MBEs Grow and Connect!

April 21, 2022 Dear Impact Awards Gala Participants: The Minority Business Enterprise Input Committee (MBEIC) of the TriState Minority Supplier Development Council (TSMSDC) welcomes you to the 2022 Impact Awards Gala. Tonight, we celebrate the many contributions and achievements made by corporations, minority businesses, corporate representatives, individuals and graduating high school seniors, over the past year.

As an expansion of the council, the MBEIC’s function is to provide ideas and proven solutions for growth, educational offerings, and industry delineation for certified minority businesses affiliated with the council. The MBEIC works in concert with other MBEs to integrate ‘best practices’ for growth, success and sustainability. The changing and unprecedented economic climate requires all of us to explore new ideas and valuable connections to development partnerships, strategic alliances, and joint ventures to shore-up size and scale for business connection, expansion and survival. Your direct participation in this evening’s networking event will help us all move in the right direction… together.

The MBEIC and its vice chairs have some aggressive initiatives to work in conjunction with the council’s leadership. Its role is to provide a platform of advice, input, and assistance to further the TSMSDC mission, its value proposition, and to enhance minority business parity and inclusion. We represent the voice of certified MBEs. We want to assist MBEs to reach their potential. Doing so will authenticate the business case for corporations to realize that supply chain diversity is a strong investment that drives overall business success. It is a win for everyone, most especially for the communities we serve.

As chairman of the MBEIC, I extend my congratulations to all of the awardees, and thank you for joining us for what promises to be an outstanding ‘Celebration of Excellence’.

Sincerely,

Warren A. Sawyers PRESIDENT & CEO ATLAS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION CHAIRMAN, MBEIC, TSMSDC www.atlasmanagement.us

MBEIC Welcome

About the Impact Awards The Impact Awards recognizes the outstanding performance and achievements of the members and affiliates of the TriState Minority Supplier Development Council (TSMSDC) during the past year. The occasion reaffirms our belief in, and support of the future of our youth by awarding scholarships to deserving high school graduating students. Since its inception in 1994, the coveted awards program has become the council’s most anticipated event to businesses and students who have excelled in service and individual achievement.

The event celebrates service and volunteerism, and annually raises funds for the worthwhile programs of TSMSDC, and its Education Foundation.

Each year, the Impact Award is presented in four categories: Corporation of the Year (for distinction in minority business opportunities); Corporate Representative of the Year (for distinction in personal leadership and support of minority businesses); Minority Suppliers of the Year in four categories (for distinction as a viable business and supporter of TSMSDC), and Impact of the Year (for distinction in extraordinary contributions and exclusive influence).

Selection Process: The MBEIC sent business surveys, via the council, to all of its member corporations. The Corporation of the Year award honors the corporate member who has made outstanding and extraordinary contributions in developing and expanding minority business and procurement opportunities. The MBEIC Corporation of the Year Committee reviewed and vetted the surveys submitted based upon the criteria and information received, used segments of the National MBEIC “Best Practices,” and narrowed the responses to the top three finalists. The committee selects and presents the winner of the influential Corporation of the Year.

In contrast, the Corporate Representative of the Year is decided on the basis of popular opinion, garnered through the support of minority businesses certified with the council. This award is a tribute to the representative who, through personal leadership, has involved his or her corporation in the implementation and/or expansion of its supplier diversity program and recognizes diversity and inclusion as a business imperative. The winner is presented by a Minority Business Enterprise.

The TSMSDC corporate members submit nominations for Minority Suppliers of the Year based on the criteria of a certified minority supplier for distinguished viability, and business acumen in the areas of product, quality, customer service, timely delivery, industry knowledge and professional staff. The votes are tallied, and the TSMSDC Board Chairman and presents the distinguished award in four class categories.

The Council’s staff selects the highest honor, Impact of the Year Award. The award signifies personal leadership, commitment and extraordinary contributions to TSMSDC.
