Congratulations to our IWEC Partner, Regina O. Heyward & MassMutual on their most recent initiative to support women & minority business owners.
New York, New York, March 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), a leading mutual life insurance company, and the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), America’s most influential and successful minority business development organization, are entering into a partnership to certify Black financial professionals affiliated with MassMutual as minority business enterprises (MBEs).
NMSDC has made a tremendous impact on MBEs and has been at the forefront of creating economic opportunities for communities of color for 50 years. NMSDC-certified minority-owned businesses generate over $400 billion in annual economic output and have created and sustained $2.2 million jobs, according to the NMSDC records.
The recruitment and retention of MBEs in the professional services industry creates the pipeline for wealth creation by introducing non-traditional businesses to a national network of potential procurement and partnership opportunities.
MassMutual has committed to providing grants covering the cost of certification up to $500 for over 100 financial professionals affiliated with MassMutual.
