The Judging Process

For more than four decades the Dallas/Fort Worth Minority Supplier Development Council has
recognized and spotlighted the contributions of our constituents that demonstrate excellence in the
area of minority business development, advocacy and growth. In 2001, the D/FW MSDC renamed its
annual recognition of Buying Entities (corporations and public sector agencies) and Minority Business
Enterprises (MBEs) and individual advocates to the E Awards.

E Stands for Excellence
Each year the annual E Awards Gala of the DFW MSDC honors members, companies and individuals
that have distinguished themselves through top performance, increased growth and strong
development.
Within the DFW MSDC membership, there are companies and public sector agencies that continue to
commit to increased economic development in our community by engaging minority-owned
businesses in their supply chain. In addition to managing their own job requirements, many come
forward as volunteers and contribute both their time and talent to the Council’s endeavors. These
individuals provide extraordinary business acumen and leadership in helping the Council achieve its
goals and objectives.
Nominees for the E Awards submit documentation which is judged by independent judges. Buying
Entity representatives select the minority business award winners and MBE judges select the Buying
Entity, Corporate and Public Sector Agency award winners.
The E Awards showcase the brilliance, vibrancy and excellence of the Dallas/Fort Worth Minority
Supplier Development Council constituents and their commitment to minority-business inclusion and
engagement.
