The Californer/10203301

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Public Relations agency, Ella Bee Media Group also known as Team EBMG is now certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) through the National Minority Supplier Development Council Inc.® (NMSDC®)'s Southern California regional affiliate. Minority group members include United States citizens who are Black and/or Native American. Ownership by minority individuals means the business is at least 51% owned by such individuals or, in the case of a publicly owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals (i.e. the management and daily operations are controlled by those minority group members.)

"Minority Business Executives (MBEs) have access to numerous benefits and services including educational programs which provide business owners with a wide range of networking opportunities," says Lila Brown who leads Team EBMG's Public Relations Division from its Downtown Los Angeles Branch. The NMSDC is the only national organization providing certification throughout the U.S. where MBEs are genuinely minority-owned and operated, and ready to do business. The access provided allows minority entrepreneurs to present themselves to hundreds of prospective buyers along with a variety of other formal and informal activities to foster the development of long-term, mutually beneficial business relations – bringing corporate purchasing people together with representatives of minority businesses.
