A celebration of small businesses and the people who own them brought something good to Fort Worth.
The Rotary Club of Fort Worth hosted its 4th Annual Minority Business Awards last week.
The club's leadership saw the need, importance, and value of recognition and inclusion within the business community and debuted the awards in 2021. This year, over a hundred businesses that exemplify core values and best practices were nominated.
Businesses considered for the award are registered in Texas, located in Fort Worth and 51%+ minority-owned, managed, and controlled. The committee used guidelines from the National Minority Supplier Development Council to define a minority group member as an individual who is at least 25% Asian-Indian, Asian-Pacific, Black, Hispanic, or Native American.
