In September we made our way to Washington for the celebration of National Minority Enterprise Development Week and welcomed Don Cravins, the newly appointed Under Secretary of Commerce. We witnessed the growth of several of our clients and worked closely with those who remained challenged by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 economy. I am extremely proud of the performance of our team and our partners. We have positively impacted minority manufacturers and their staffs throughout the region and were fortunate to receive recognition from the Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency for our work.

As you review this newsletter, I encourage you to visit the photo gallery from the RMI Maryland Manufacturing Celebration event and to review our year-in-review photo gallery. I also encourage you to view the Replays of our MiHUB Monday webinars.

So where do we go from here? In January we will launch a new page on our website to celebrate our clients. We are retooling and refocusing our efforts. We will announce a new approach to our service delivery which will involve our strategic partners and the MiHUB Cooperative.

The future is bright for the MBADA Advanced Manufacturing Center in Baltimore.

I wish you a Happy Holiday Season and look forward to working with you in the New Year.
