I am very proud to announce that the [Capital Region Minority Supplier Development Council](http://www.crmsdc.org/)
(CRMSDC) has certified Vidya as a Minority Business Enterprise.

At Vidya, we have been very privileged to deliver high-quality software to a wide array of commercial and government clients
using exciting technology while promoting lean principles, agile software development,
and diversity in software engineering. The best part about it? It's been fun! Doing great work and contributing to the community--whether
writing on [our blog](https://www.vidyasource.com/blog/), answering questions on [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/users/1347281/vidya),
contributing to open-source on [GitHub](https://github.com/VidyaSource),
speaking at [conferences](https://www.vidyasource.com/blog/speaking-at-code-writers-workshop-2017/), and even posting video tutorials on
[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC24LVc8Bb65SF6LW-SLog9A) --have been the most rewarding professional experience of my life.

Certification by CRMSDC shows the world that Vidya has demonstrated the kind of growth potential that should make businesses
who need technology services take notice. CRMSDC's [mission](http://www.crmsdc.org/mission_vision.php) is
"to assist our corporate members in improving the diversification and innovation of their supply chains by connecting them
to well developed, certified minority business enterprises." We look forward to building
new relationships and to delivering our services to even more clients in the Washington, DC, area and beyond. We are also excited about expanding
our current offerings by making our courses available online and building new software products in multiple business domains.

We want to thank CRMSDC for recognizing Vidya's past success and future potential, and we cannot wait to do business
with you. [Let's talk](https://www.vidyasource.com/contact/).
