The Business Diversity Committee (BDC) is committed to developing proactive outreach and educational programs that provide a forum to discuss successful practices in administering supplier diversity programs. The Committee monitors changes in legislation, regulatory requirements, and business practices affecting the federally mandated disadvantaged business enterprises (“DBE”) and airport concessions disadvantaged business enterprises (“ACDBE”), as well as female, minority and small (F/M/S) businesses at airports. It contributes to ACI-NA policy recommendations on DBE/ACDBE/F/M/S business issues, as well as promotes successful airport DBE/ACDBE/F/M/S/ business programs. The BDC is further committed to demonstrating that supplier diversity is a good business practice in that it promotes competition and helps develop an airport business environment that is reflective of the community in which it operates.
