Program Facilitator

James H. Lowry, AMEP Academic Director

Dr. James H. Lowry and then president of NMSDC, Dr. Harriet Michel, created the dynamic Advance Management Executive Program in 1996 to grow competitive minority-owned business with sizable scale and capacity to handle corporate America’s supply chain needs and opportunities.

Utilizing their joint skillsets in working with and encouraging corporations and minority business focused supplier diversity programs, the two founders understood that the skills that got minority business to the next level of success would need to be further enhanced to grow and be sustainable for the future.
