Started as a non-profit trade association in 1969, the National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC) focuses on construction industry concerns common to African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans and Native Americans. Membership, however, is open to individuals of all races and ethnic backgrounds.

Its membership base includes general contractors, subcontractors, construction managers, manufacturers, and suppliers.

NAMC extends its influence over 49 states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands.
The Southern California Chapter of NAMC has been active since 1995, and offers numerous benefits to minority
contractors.
