Alliance Partnership Program

We realize that trust is an essential part of building any form of business relationship.

The Council Alliance partnership is focused on creating a target rich environment where participants are able to realize income generating opportunities by utilizing the Council as a catalyst.

The Council strives to match up capable entities. Our goal is to marry capacity with trust. Alliances are becoming more and more central to new business development as alliance-centric external development programs emerge.

Our events are geared to foster new relationships that lead to contracts, revenue, and profit. We believe that business alliances are the hidden competitive weapon. Our premise is built on the belief that there are better alternatives to the usual go-it-alone paradigm. Strategic Collaborations have come of age and are necessary to compete in this global economy. Our representative members bring a huge value to any successful partnership.

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 last decade with State, Federal Officials, and Corporate Executives to develop parity for minority suppliers in the IT marketplace. The Council has now formed a historic partnership of Minority companies ready to leverage their qualifications and reach.
