A Dallas-based nonprofit, MGP is a national network of diverse professionals that works to identify, expose, mentor and train ethnically diverse men and women in all aspects of the marketing and media industry. This is the second installment of a multi-year partnership with the Mavericks. For the last 15 years, the nonprofit has worked to create opportunities for a diverse pipeline of talent.
The five-day workshop with the Mavs gave the applicants exposure and access necessary to further their career interests within the advertising, media and marketing industry. The Dallas Mavs are one of several teams in the NBA who work with the Marcus Graham Project.
