Minority Business Opportunity Day
20/20 Vision: Navigating New Business Trends
Important updated information regarding
Minority Business Opportunity Day.
In light of the uncertainty of the unknown impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and concern for our constituents, the SCMSDC Board of Directors have unanimously decided to postpone Minority Business Opportunity Day (MBOD) currently scheduled for March 31st, 2020.
The decision to postpone was not made lightly and is an unprecedented move in MBOD’s 40-year history. The conference is considered by many to be an institution in Los Angeles, one that brings together more MBEs, Corporate members and partners than any other single SCMSDC event. However, in light of the evolving uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we are aware of the global, national and local health risks posed by the recent outbreak and choose not to place our constituents at risk.
We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we work through the details of the new MBOD date. Please see our FAQ section or contact events@scmsdc.org for additional information.
Sincerely,
Virginia Gomez President & CEO SCMSDC
