The 30th Annual Virtual Impact Awards Gala “A Celebration of Excellence”

April 20, 2023

Dear Patrons:

Welcome to the 30th Annual Virtual Impact Awards Gala.

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.

Now celebrating three decades, the council is pleased to present this special occasion which celebrates supplier diversity at its best. The TriState Minority Supplier Development Council continues to shape the growth and development of minority businesses. During the presentation, an array of honorees will take center stage as part of this year’s awards presentation.

This occasion is dedicated to honor minority businesses, corporate members, and individuals that have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to a better and more inclusive business marketplace.

Special appreciation is extended to our generous sponsors, who help to make this event possible. The very generous support and commitment gives us the much-needed resources to advance our overarching mission.

This year’s celebratory event also 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 $82,150 toward scholarships which will be presented this evening to 7 notable students. Corporations, minority businesses, and individuals make it all possible. Congratulations to the exceptional scholarship recipients.

Congratulations are extended to all of the award winners. Your devotion to the common purpose of business enterprise, and philanthropy continues to make an indelible impact on our economy and the community-at-large. We extend our thanks to the nominees, production crew, staff, volunteers and all individuals who generously contributed to making this wonderful celebratory event happen.

Thank you for your continued patronage. We hope you will enjoy this special Celebration of Excellence.

Sincerely,

Richard Manson, JD CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, TSMSDC CHAIRMAN, CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST CO. PRESIDENT, SOURCEMARK, LLC
