Make no mistake about it", said Shannon Suber, Texas Instruments, Access 2004 chair, ACCESS 2004 is a real opportunity to form significant business contacts and actually do business with many of the largest companies and government entities in North Texas." Suber concluded, Its a win-win situation for both partners."

Margo Posey, president of the Council, is quick to point out, the D/FW MBDC is not only bringing minority businesses together with major corporate and government entities but has helped to build important, strategic alliances between our own members, the MBEs (minority business entrepreneurs) for some 30 years now." Posey went on to say, the purchasing needs of large corporate partners increasingly requires two or more MBEs to combine forces to satisfy bid requirements. Therefore it is critical for those relationships to be established early." ACCESS 2004 is the perfect place to start!
