Stark County Minority Business Association
 

In the summer of 2008, efforts were made to improve communications and enhance collaboration between minority businesses in Stark County and the Ohio Department of Development. 
 

After several planning meetings, a minority business conference was held in Canton to address human resources and finance-related topics for minority business owners.

 

Following the great success of this conference, it was agreed upon that a permanent organization should be established to act in the best interests of Stark County minority business owners. Thus, the Stark County Minority Business Association was born.
 

ABCD, Inc. serves as sponsors and fiscal agent for the Stark County Minority Business Association.


THE SCMBA  VISION
The vision of the SCMBA is to create a self-sustaining business community fueled by those members who have created sustainable business and jobs. 

THE SCMBA MISSION
The mission of the SCMBA is to increase the opportunity for ethnic and racial minorities to participate in the free enterprise system through the procurement of contracts and the formation, development, and preservation of competitive minority businesses.

We are a Non-Profit Community Development Corporation. 

 

The ABCD, Inc. was created as a part of the Community Developers Program of the United Methodist Church (UMC) and was incorporated in 1973.

 

In 1988 following a major strategic planning session, ABCD shifted from a regular social services organization to a Community Development Corporation still maintaining its affiliation with the U.M.C.
