Inland Empire Minority Led Resource Development Coalition

The IEMLRDC is open to any entity that wants to join.  There Is No Membership Fee!  The meetings are conducted in an environment that welcomes interactions through discussions and actual hands-on applications.  Attendees are encouraged to bring flyers, events and information to share.  Local agencies and organizations are highlighted and celebrated in our "Agency Spotlight".

IEMLRDC has a reputation for going outside of the box to reach its audience: From innovative trainings that include "Speed Networking Events" and "Meet your Press", to having local successful Non Profit Executives such as Kim Carter, Hardy Brown Jr., and Dr. Lewis King address specific issues of financial sustainability, managerial leadership, and integrating technology.  The IEMLRDC has also had local government panels, culturally specific groups, and even started off the beginning of the year with featured funding agencies for the first six months.

The IEMLRDC is unique to other local resource collaborative groups in that they funnel members into more detailed capacity building trainings and programs.  Through a San Bernardino County capacity program called ELEVATE, many of IEMLRDC affiliated agencies received first time grant funding.  The core values of ethical practices, collaboration, and community partnership has led to the Inland Empire's community's acceptance and IEMLRDC's present success.
