Since its creation, iTech US has worked its way to
earning membership and recognition from the
NMSDC as a minority business. The National
Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc., was
chartered in 1972 with the goal of improving and
advancing opportunities for certified minority
enterprises. The NMSDC strives to provide every
size of minority business with connections to
corporate members and networking opportunities.
With over 3,000 members and more than 35
councils around the country, the NMSDC has
helped more than 16,000 businesses that are
minority owned sell their services and products by
connecting them to the organization’s corporate
members.

To build and connect minority-owned businesses,
the NMSDC offers a variety of programs and
services. In addition to its online database made up
of minority-owned, certified businesses, the NMSDC
provides free tools to minority-owned businesses to
determine the quality of various parts of their
company, it gives members access to a program to
strengthen business relationships and production,
and it offers certification for minority businesses. To
become a member of the NMSDC, a company must
be a certified minority business. If its controlling
group is made up of at least 51 percent minority
individuals, it is eligible for certification as a minority-
owned business. Through the support of its
members, the NMSDC continues the growth and
success of minority-owned businesses around the
United States.
