The Business Impact Awards Gala

The Business Impact Awards (BIA) is the Florida State Minority Supplier Development Council’s (FSMSDC) signature fundraising event. Through these awards, FSMSDC recognizes the achievements of Florida’s top minority-owned businesses, as well as dynamic industry leaders and major corporations committed to supplier diversity. This evening of honors and elegance brings together Florida’s business community while raising funds to tackle the systemic inequities Florida’s minority entrepreneurs face in access to funding, social capital, entrepreneurial development and contracting opportunities and gives minority-owned businesses the connections, training, certifications and tools they need to thrive and grow. Most of the services we provide are free or subsidized – paid for by donations and grants.
