Arkview had the honor of being a Corporate Sponsor of the event.
The Arkview team took very active roles to support this first, in-person event since 2019.

Progress made under Ms. Wright-Lacy's leadership continues to have a lasting positive impact on MBEs around the country.
Mr. Albert White, Arkview Advisor and celebrated author, led a panel on disruption and the changing market landscape for MBEs. Together with panelists from Google, ExxonMobil, and KeyString Labs, Mr. White discussed how to capitalize on the new opportunities created by the seismic technological shifts taking place today.
The Arkview team had the pleasure of meeting an exceptional group of MBEs that are looking for a capital partner to scale their businesses. Arkview thanks all of the local NMSDC chapter leaders that showed their support by visiting Arkview Capital’s exhibit. Congratulations to Stacey Key, Vickie Irwin, and Tracey Grace of the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council for winning the Council of the Year Award!
