The MBDA Regional Offices create and facilitate growth and mentoring for Minority Owned Businesses. This is not a funciton that can realistically happen from Washington, DC. These offices understand their regional needs, opportunities, businesses and agencies. Most importantly, they understand the types of minority buisnesses in the region, the skillsets and the development requriements. They have built a rapport of strong relationships and serve as a resource to the MBDA Business Centers as well as other organizations in the region. These offices are often the FIRST interface for minorty owned businesses with the federal government for obtaining business and understanding government requirements. If job creation is so important, why remove something that works in the minority communities?
