Cravins takes helm of NMDC permanently

National Minority Supplier Development Council Chairman Kayla Gibson’s announcement

On behalf of the National Minority Supplier Development Council Inc. (NMSDC) Board of Directors, I’m pleased to share that the Board has appointed Donald R. “Don” Cravins, Jr. as permanent president and CEO, effective immediately.

This decision affirms the progress our network has made under Don’s interim leadership and positions NMSDC to move decisively into our next chapter.

The Board confidently believes Don is the right leader for this moment. He has stabilized operations, strengthened affiliate relationships and re-energized our stakeholders. We look forward to partnering with him to deliver impact across the network.

Don will address the network at the NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange in Miami, Nov. 2–5, 2025, where he’ll share key updates on certification, affiliate alignment and new performance frameworks tied to our theme, “Navigating Our New Economy.”

We look forward to seeing many of you in Miami.

Warm regards,

Kala Gibson

Chair, NMSDC Board of Directors
