Corporate Plus® Membership
On October 25th, 2005, CEO and President of Zones, Firoz Lalji accepted certification as a Corporate Plus® member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). Corporate Plus is an unprecedented membership program of the NMSDC for the highest caliber minority business enterprises which have the proven capacity to handle national contracts for major corporations. It is designed to recognize their national capabilities, bring them to the attention of all National Corporate Members and expand their participation in the NMSDC network.

The reception was held during the three day 2005 National Minority Supplier Development Council Conference and Business Opportunity Fair. This annual event is devoted to minority suppliers, minority entrepreneurs and purchasing executives. It included purposeful plenary sessions and workshops, keynote addresses and interactive special events to help unite all participants for networking, sharing information contacts and new ideas.
