Working With MCCA
MCCA has created a “Request for Proposal” (RFP) process to provide transparency, improve our operations and manage our third-party vendors efficiently. We also hope to create opportunities for women and minority-owned businesses to earn our business in a competitive manner that is transparent and fair while getting MCCA the best value to ensure our dollars stretch the farthest.
There are no RFPs available at this time.

Historic Fireside Chat with Little Rock Nine Trailblazer Carlotta Walls LaNier
The ArentFox Schiff Center for Racial Equity is proud to invite you to a fireside chat featuring Carlotta Walls LaNier, the youngest member of the Little Rock Nine. In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision, Senator Doug Jones will talk with Ms. Lanier about her remarkable experience as a trailblazer in the Civil Rights Movement. A reception in ArentFox Schiff DC office will immediately follow their discussion.
In 1957, the Little Rock Nine entered the halls of Little Rock Central High School as the school’s first black students to enroll following the Brown v. Board landmark decision that found racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. The students drew international attention as they faced intimidation from local and state authorities. Critically, the Little Rock Nine helped make it possible for students of all colors to get equal educational opportunities today. In 1999, President Bill Clinton awarded each member of the group the Congressional Gold Medal.
Ms. LaNier’s signed book, A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School will be given to the first 100 people that RSVP.
EQUILAR DIVERSITY NETWORK ETHNICITY DATA CAMPAIGN
We are proud to announce that MCCA has partnered with the Equilar Diversity Network (EDN) to launch a data campaign to aggregate additional measures of diversity, specifically race/ethnicity. We’d like to invite MCCA members to participate in this important campaign, and encourage you to ask your executive and board member colleagues to do the same, to increase transparency around ethnic representation on corporate boards and the C-suite.
Members can claim their profiles on Equilar’s BoardEdge platform, which hosts more than 500,000 executive and board member profiles for board search opportunities. By self-selecting ethnicity, participants are supporting a data-driven approach to increase board diversity while also making profiles more accessible when diverse candidates are searched.
In partnership with Equilar, we’ll be releasing a report this fall on our progress. We hope you take a moment to participate, and we look forward to continuing our important work together.
