January 26, 2021 – Livonia, MI – EOS® Worldwide and the Florida State Minority Supplier Development Council (FSMSDC) have signed a partnership agreement to assist minority business enterprises in strengthening their leadership teams and growing their businesses using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).
“We are thrilled to partner with FSMSDC in helping minority-owned and -run businesses reach their potential at a time when it’s more important than ever for minority businesses to succeed,” said Kelly Knight, president and integrator of EOS Worldwide. “EOS will provide FSMSDC with free Traction books, free downloadable EOS tools and access to our 400+ Professional EOS Implementers® around the world. With more than 100,000 businesses using EOS tools, we are confident that EOS can support minority entrepreneurs on their journey to getting more of what they want from their businesses.”
The FSMSDC’s main function is to register and certify minority-owned businesses. The process ensures that these businesses are 51% minority-owned and operated in accordance with the guidelines set by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).
