About:
The IBDC is a free standing minority supplier development council. It is an affiliate of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, and one of thirty-nine regional councils operating in the United States. The IBDC was created by the Indianapolis business community in the mid '70s to address and support minority business development.
Through the dedication and continuing support of its original founders, the Indiana Regional Purchasing Council (IRPC) as it was initially named, became the Indiana Regional Minority Purchasing Council (IRMPC), followed by the Indiana Regional Minority Supplier Development Council (IRMSDC), and finally The Indiana Business Diversity Council (IBDC). The successive name changes reflect the increasing scope of programs and services made available to the minority business community.
The IBDC is supported by corporate membership dues, contributions, and by funding from the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).
Mission
The primary mission of the IBDC is to promote and cultivate successful minority enterprises within the Indiana business community. The IBDC serves as an advocate for the economic well-being and growth of IBDC-certified MBEs, while also providing a direct connection for corporations who are committed to purchasing products and services from IBDC-certified MBEs.
