EMSDC Mosaic
Inspired by the recent birth of the EMSDC Business Navigators Accelerator Program (BNAP) SWPA, ROAR Mosaic is a collaborative gathering of partners supporting and empowering small, diverse businesses in southwestern Pennsylvania. As detailed in “EMSDC Corporate Members Champion Supplier Growth,” a recent report authored by Tricina Cash, Executive Vice President of EMSDC, “In a transformative collaboration, Duquesne Light Company’s Procurement and DEI divisions played a pivotal role in connecting EMSDC with the YWCA of Greater Pittsburgh. This partnership resulted in EMSDC securing funding to launch the Business Navigators Accelerator Program (BNAP) SWPA, also known as EMSDC Mosaic.”
As noted in the report, “EMSDC Mosaic has emerged as a beacon of hope for minority and women-owned businesses in Allegheny County. It provides these businesses with the essential resources, knowledge, and tools required to thrive in a competitive business landscape.” And in case you didn’t know, Mosaic was also the theme of the EmpowHer event, held in Pittsburgh in the summer of 2023.
