Supplier Diversity Panel

May 15, 2008

07:30 AM to 09:00 AM

For corporate America, diversity is not just a workforce issue. Industries want to reflect their customer bases, and in order to achieve that the issue of diversity must encompass suppliers as well. Statistics show that when minority suppliers and corporations join forces, sales for the suppliers typically increase exponentially. Yet managing a diverse supply chain remains a tricky balancing act for much of corporate America. The event will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
