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.”
Nominating someone you know is quick and easy. To put someone’s name in the hat, click here.
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.
