Minority Business and Professional Association

EXCERPTS FROM REMARKS MADE TO THE MINORITY BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION 8:45 P.M. MAY 23, 1990 FAIRVIEW MARRIOTT FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA BY GOVERNOR L. DOUGLAS WILDER Thank you. I’m pleased to have this opportunity to be with you this evening, and to join in recognizing the achievements of minority business leaders in Northern Virginia. The other day, while reading the June issue of Black Enterprise. I came across compelling evidence of the strength of the minority business community in this area. In an article ranking the nation’s top 100 industrial and service companies, five of the six Virginia firms making this prestigious list are located in Northern Virginia. And yet, regardless of whether your company is included in this or in similar rankings, what matters most is the quality of service you provide to your customers. ...day after day; year after year.
