Chamber Doubles MED Week Programming, Seeks Award Nominations

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week, the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce Minority & Women Business Committee will more than double past programming.

Previously, both the local and national commemorations have only been two days. This year, under the leadership of Chairman Anika Dixon (AC Dixon & Associates Realty), the committee is planning a full week of activities to coincide with the national observance in Washington, DC on September 13th and 14th. Both the local and national theme will be Celebrating the Legacy of Innovation & Competitiveness.
