Welcome
The National Minority Technology Council welcomes you to our new website.
We have a lot in store for the next years to come.
The idea of the Council was born a decade ago.
The Council has grown to be recognized at the Federal, State, and Local level as a
viable bridge to opportunity and information. “Building Trusted Networks” is still our aim.
We have a body of certified minority technology companies who on a daily bases work to provide for
their clients, employees, families, and the communities they serve.
We are very thankful for and deeply appreciate the many contributors to this website.
Our members and partners spend countless hours working to build successful companies.
We appreciate time spent sharing ideas and best practices with us and providing your thoughts and
feelings with our members at large.
Karl Cureton, NMTC Chair
Our beginnings: In 1999 Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore announced that he "is working with the private sector to create the nation's first Minority Technology Council.
The Council will coordinate efforts with minority-owned technology business and existing regional technology councils across the state." Press Release.
This was the first government announcement of the Council. Shortly after our Council Founder and Chair, Karl Cureton, was invited to speak as a panel guest for the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) on the Digital Divide.
The Council has worked over the years with both State and Federal Executives to develop parity for minority suppliers in the IT marketplace.
