The Directors of the Ohio Development Services Agency and the Ohio Department of Administrative Services also serve on the Council.
The Minority Business Advisory Council is an advocate for Ohio’s minority businesses and is committed to increasing the number of minority-owned firms in Ohio, and ensuring that these companies see revenue growth and long-term success.
