MBDA has announced that it is now accepting nominations for the 2020 National Minority Enterprise Development Week Awards. During MBDA’s National MED Week, it will celebrate the outstanding achievements of minority entrepreneurs, as well as the individuals and organizations that have demonstrated their commitment to advancing minority business enterprises through its annual awards programme.
