This honor goes to those minority-owned businesses in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia that demonstrate exceptional entrepreneurial accomplishments, a high level of professionalism, and have made substantial contributions to their community.
CRMSDC, established in 1972, is one of 23 regional affiliates of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, the only nationally recognized MBE certifying authority.
