Business North Carolina is accepting nominations for Diverse Leaders 2022, for which they will highlight “successful, for-profit N.C. companies that are minority-owned.”
It’s not too late to nominate a business you know, but the deadline is quickly approaching on Dec. 10.
BNC will look at a variety of factors when assessing whether or not to include a business in the special section of their upcoming February issue. Those include:
“Staying Power: Started no later than January 2019 (3 years in business).
Solid Performance: Demonstrated revenue growth over the life of the business.
Community Impact: Added staff and formed connections with other local businesses.
Innovation: Created new products, services or corporate culture.”

The Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has a catalogue of businesses that are Black-owned in the region as well.
If you work for a minority-owned business, you can put your company on https://intentionalist.com/ or search the site for local places to support and nominate.
