This event will be hosted as a hybrid event with the option of joining both in-person and virtually. Instructions for joining the virtual meeting will be sent to registered attendees after the registration deadline.

EVENT OVERVIEW
From the largest global corporations to the smallest local businesses, supplier
diversity benefits everyone and can help level the playing field for underrepresented groups. Join us for an informative, engaging evening in which we will explore this vital supply chain characteristic to understand what Supplier Diversity (SD) is, why it is important to companies and how it strengthens their diversity and sustainability efforts. Hear about NGOs that support diverse business owners and the companies seeking to work with diverse businesses. Broaden and deepen the conversation with your fellow SCCJ members, members of other chambers, and allied business organizations, as we take time to network over drinks and a buffet of delectable refreshments.
