In 1968, a chain of events erupted into civil and economic mayhem that shook Chicago at its very core. Rising above the turmoil, a group of corporate and community leaders were determined to cast a spotlight of hope on seemingly hopeless situations and created The Chicago Business Opportunity Day.
NMSDC was chartered in 1972 to provide increased procurement and business opportunities for minority businesses of all sizes.
