MSD's
DiverseWorks Program certifies businesses as owned by women and
minorities, and helps them connect with contract opportunities at
MSD and with other companies. The awards presented today are the
first annual awards given by MSD to recognize certified
businesses, MSD's prime contractors and major business partners,
and an MSD employee who have demonstrated success in diversity
initiatives.
Each
quarter, MSD honors individual employees who excel in promoting
opportunities for minority- and woman-owned businesses.
MSD
established its DiverseWorks program in 1985 to certify businesses
as owned by minorities and woman, and to seek opportunities for
certified businesses to work with MSD and other companies. Each
year MSD aims to award 15 percent of its construction and
professional contracts to minority-owned businesses and three
percent to woman-owned businesses.
