Minority Business Executive Program

September 13-21, 2023

The 2023 Minority Business Executive Program (MBEP) will be delivered more with in-person sessions. It will begin with live online sessions, but the participants will then spend an additional four days at the University of Washington Campus in Seattle. The intensive curriculum grows business leaders from companies owned by people of color, women, veterans, disabled persons, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community and other minority groups. The program helps them to position their companies for today’s changing global economy.

Participants learn to utilize financial tools to make better business decisions, develop strategic plans for growth and sustainability, identify new technologies to scale operations, market their products and services more effectively, explore strategies to access global markets, and develop their leadership acumen. They return to their businesses with enhanced knowledge, a renewed personal energy, and an invaluable network of fellow diverse business leaders.

“I would highly recommend the UW MBEP to any minority entrepreneur who is looking to scale their business. The program has allowed me time to step away from the day-to-day of my business and has encouraged me to become more informed and a better leader. Each professor, panel, sponsor, and fellow participant provided so much valuable information, experience, and a long-term commitment to be available to each other for future assistance.
