Mid-States MSDC joined Pepper Construction Group to host the IPS Diversity Outreach Event earlier this week. The engaging session connected MBEs in the construction industry with project managers on upcoming IPS projects. #MidStatesMSDC #IPS #MBE #Construction
The IPS Diversity Outreach Event was a tremendous success, powered by the collaborative efforts of Pepper Construction Group, MVGeneral Construction Services and the Owners rep Davita Johnson, MSM of Tikur Solutions. This impactful event shined a spotlight on upcoming opportunities for Indianapolis Public Schools projects at Emma Donnan School 72 and Julian Coleman School 110. Held at the Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council facility, the event brought together a dynamic network of over 50 XBEs committed to driving progress and equity in the Indianapolis community. Inspiring remarks were delivered by Dr. Demetrius Glover, Ph.D., and Nick L., MBE-IC Chair, who both shared valuable insights on the Council and it’s Minority Business Enterprise Input Committee (MBE-IC). Black Onyx Management, Inc. is excited to continue Rebuilding Stronger with the incredible talent and dedication of the XBEs in the room, paving the way for greater success and collaboration.
