Your brand voice matters. And now there's an easier way to find it.

We've partnered with Ellifly — an OMSDC-certified MBE by mekkadon_ — to give our members 15% off their AI-powered brand and content platform.

ELLIFLY helps small businesses define their brand voice, create consistent content, and show up like the professionals they are. No agency required.

This is what the MBE ecosystem looks like when it's working: one certified minority business building tools that help others grow.

Clear messaging can be the difference between being remembered and being overlooked.

At ConnectingOHIO 2026, one of our Impact Labs will help minority businesses use AI to clarify their brand, strengthen their value proposition, and create more consistent messaging across introductions, social media, capability statements, and marketing materials.

Leveraging AI to Better Communicate and Build Your Brand, July 21
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center | Cincinnati

This is one of at least three practical Impact Labs we’ll feature at ConnectingOHIO. Each session is designed to help businesses leave with tools they can actually use, not just ideas to think about later.

This session will also include a brief introduction to OMSDC’s partnership with ELLIFLY for discounted AI-assisted social media support.

In observance of Memorial Day, OMSDC will be closed as we pause to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

This day is a reminder that history is carried forward by people who sacrifice for something beyond themselves. Their courage, service, and legacy continue to shape the freedoms and opportunities we work to protect and strengthen.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

OMSDC will resume operations Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 9:00 AM EDT.

Congratulations to Pei-Chen Jane Lee, President & CEO of UNICON International, on being honored by WBEC ORV as part of its inaugural Women of Distinction class.

This recognition celebrates women business owners whose leadership, innovation, and impact are helping strengthen industries, communities, and the supplier inclusion ecosystem.

ConnectingOHIO 2026 kicks off with a day built for real connection.

On July 20, we’re bringing minority business leaders, corporate procurement teams, public-sector partners, and ecosystem organizations together at Topgolf West Chester for Day 1 of ConnectingOHIO.

This is the relationship-building side of the event. Less formal. More conversational. Designed to help attendees meet the right people before Day 2 programming begins at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

Whether you’re a business leader looking to build relationships with new customers, a corporate partner looking to connect with qualified suppliers, or a community leader looking to strengthen Ohio’s business ecosystem, Day 1 is where the momentum starts.
