MBE Application & Corporate Partnership


The Louisiana Minority Business Council (LAMBC) is part of a national network of thirty-nine councils with a combined membership of over 3,000 corporations and 15,000 minority business enterprises (MBEs). Louisiana Minority Business Council has served as a primary resource in fostering the development of productive business relationships between member corporations and qualified minority owned companies.

Corporate Benefits

Membership with LAMBC demonstrates your corporation's commitment to diversity and minority business utilization. The Council commits itself to working with your company in promoting supplier diversity. We offer our corporate members:

  • Access to MBE suppliers through our database and web page directory
  • Seminars and workshops to create the best supplier diversity programs
  • Networking with MBEs at monthly meetings and special events
  • Vendor referrals
  • Opportunity to participate in our annual trade fair

MBE / Reciprocal Benefits

Your certification with the LAMBC provides you with valuable resources to help your business grow and succeed. Aside from providing your clients proof of your MBE status, you gain access to the LAMBC database of corporate contacts, valuable networking opportunities at our events, and more. You'll also get valuable exposure in both local and national databases as well as on our website, maximizing your visibility to our corporate members. The benefits of MBE certification:

  • Exposure to business opportunities
  • National and local referrals
  • MBE Certification
  • Corporate contact list
  • Entrepeneurial seminars
  • Vendor-to-vendor networking

These services and a variety of other programs distinguish LAMBC from most organizations providing minority certification. For our member corporations, the Council serves as a reliable source for identifying minority suppliers, as a clearinghouse for information related to minority business development and as a direct link with the minority business community. For our MBE members, we provide exposure and access to business opportunities.
