2026 CRMSDC MBE Input Committee Annual Breakfast

Thrilled to host the Annual MBE Input Committee Breakfast, a standout experience connecting leaders and positioning businesses to scale!

The CRMSDC Minority Business Enterprise Input Committee (MBEIC) Annual Breakfast is where the Capital Region’s supplier diversity community comes together—corporate leaders, procurement decision-makers, certified MBEs, and small businesses all in one room, building relationships that continue long after the program ends.

This year, we’re gathering under a theme that reflects exactly where we are right now:

STANDING STRONG: Steady. Certain. Forward.

It’s a reminder that in seasons of uncertainty, steady leadership matters more than ever.

Sometimes it looks like consistency.

Like staying ready.

Like showing up anyway—clear on your value and confident in what you bring to the table.

Expect a high-energy morning filled with great conversation, real connection, and powerful networking.

We’re excited to welcome Katie Barlow (FOX 5) as our Mistress of Ceremonies,bringing her signature presence and professionalism to energize the morning and keep the program moving with purpose.

Whether you’re looking for new corporate partners, teaming opportunities, or simply want to stay close to what’s happening in the supplier diversity ecosystem, this is the room you want to be in.

If you’ve been waiting for the right space to reconnect, reintroduce your business, and reset your momentum for the year ahead—this is it.

Join us and be part of the conversation shaping what’s next.
