A Message from the CEO

On behalf of the Board of Directors and members of the Chicago Minority Supplier Development Council (ChicagoMSDC), it is my pleasure to invite you to the 2026 Chicago Business Opportunity Forums Day — the launch of our yearlong Forums series.

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the CBOF Planning Committee for their commitment, expertise, and leadership. Their work ensures that this event continues to grow in impact, relevance, and reach.

As we look ahead, our focus is clear: creating growth for suppliers and results for companies. ChicagoMSDC has spent more than five decades strengthening the ecosystem for diverse suppliers. Today, we are doubling down on that mission by expanding access to opportunity, deepening corporate partnerships, and championing the long-term success of the businesses we serve.

This year’s Forums will emphasize wealth building, enterprise valuation, and business succession — critical pillars for creating sustainable, intergenerational prosperity. Our goal is to equip business owners, corporate partners, and community leaders with the tools and relationships needed to build lasting economic power.

We look forward to your participation and to another year of meaningful connections, strategic insights, and shared success. 

Dan Seals
CEO
Chicago Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc.
