Collaborative Excellence...

Nominees for this category are supplier diversity professionals who
are responsible for encouraging the purchase of goods and services
from minority-owned businesses. In 2014, these professionals
worked with MBEs to increase their capacity, encourage lower-tiered
participation, host outreach opportunities, oversee mentoring
programs and provide internal education and advocacy about
minority-business utilization.
