This year’s Piedmont Triad Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week is consolidating activities into one special day of recognizing the economic impact of minority- and women-owned firms. That day is Wednesday, October 5, at Revolution Mill's Colonnade Room, 900 Revolution Mill Dr.

The theme of this year’s MED Week is “Positioned to Propel!”

Activities run from 9 am to 2 pm and feature presentations by representatives from Boom Supersonic, National Institute of Economic Development, and Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. The day concludes with an awards luncheon, recognizing the Minority and Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) “Community Legacy Trailblazer.”

Admission is $25 per person, which includes lunch. Register online to attend. The day’s agenda is also outlined on that website. Seating is limited as a COVID precautionary measure.

These entities work in partnership to host the event: cities of Greensboro and High Point, Guilford County, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Guilford Technical Community College.

The purpose of national MED Week, which is celebrated across the country, is to provide business development opportunities to firms and celebrate the accomplishments of M/WBEs during the past year.
