γνωθι σεαυτόν or gnothi seauton (Know Yourself)

Thirteen corporations in Central Florida founded the privately funded Central-Space Coast Minority Purchasing Council in 1980. The C-SCMPC changed its name to the Greater Florida Minority Development Council (GFMDC), after merging with the Florida West Coast Minority Purchasing Council and starting a chapter in Jacksonville. The first Executive Director was also hired in 1986. The name of the Council was changed to the National Minority Supplier Development Council of Florida, Inc., in 1992. Our name changed again in 2002 to the Florida Minority Supplier Development Council (FMSDC).

The mission of the FMSDC is to provide a direct link between corporate America and minority-owned business enterprises. Now in our 20th year, our non-profit corporation is the premiere networking organization for minority businesses in Florida.
