“I had the privilege of working closely with Maleeka Catron, Program Director for the NMSDC's Capital Readiness Program funded by the MBDA, and I am continuously inspired by her leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to advancing minority business enterprises (MBEs). Maleeka played a pivotal role in the success of our federal contracting training initiative, where her expertise and advocacy were instrumental in empowering over 300 graduates to navigate the complexities of the federal marketplace. Maleeka’s ability to align strategic goals with impactful outcomes is unmatched. Her insight and collaboration ensured that our training program not only met but exceeded its objectives, enabling participants to secure significant certifications and contracts. Beyond the training, Maleeka's leadership was a driving force behind securing buy-in for our next phase—a groundbreaking initiative tailored for Corporate Plus NMSDC members. Her skill in navigating stakeholder relationships and creating opportunities for growth exemplifies her as a true champion for DEIA and economic equity. Working with Maleeka has been a masterclass in program execution and strategic partnership. Her dedication to fostering meaningful change and her ability to inspire action make her a standout leader. I wholeheartedly recommend Maleeka to any organization or initiative seeking a dynamic, results-oriented leader who is committed to driving measurable impact.”
