'I was apprehensive about the value that this membership would bring to my company. However I quickly learned that you most definitely can get out as much if not more than what you put into it. After a relatively short while, we were able to make multiple first tier contacts and we have been able to develop these into very promising prospects. In addition, we just signed our first contract with a corporate member, CON AGRA, through an NMSDC/SCMBDC event. Thompson Family Farms Web Site'
