About

The Minority Business RoundTable (MBRT) was established in 2002 as a national nonprofit organization for CEOs of African-American-, Hispanic-American-, Asian-American-, and Native-American-owned top-tier businesses, representing a variety of trades and industries. Members hold positions equivalent to chief executive officer (CEO) or chairperson in their respective businesses. MBRT functions as the vehicle for its members to analyze and help formulate effective public policies that impact minority-owned businesses.

Mission

Serve as the unified voice for minority CEOs in the United States. Advance opportunities for minority entrepreneurs in the public and private sectors. Work across racial, ethnic, and cultural barriers to promote greater economic participation; and inform and influence public policies on critical importance issues to the minority business community.
