REGIONAL CORPORATE  SEMINARS

LEADING FROM THE FUTURE:
PLANTING THE SEEDS OF RECOVERY

The 2010 NMSDC professional development seminars are designed to provide sourcing and supplier diversity professionals access to the most current and effective concepts in supplier diversity process management. 

Recent economic events have demonstrated the importance of aligning minority supplier development with corporate America's changing strategy, structure and culture.  It is critical that supplier diversity stakeholders focus our individual and collective energies, to accelerate momentum and to achieve enduring success in times of change.  

This year’s theme, Leading from the Future: Planting the Seeds of Recovery acknowledges this reality: If minority businesses are one of the fastest growing segments of small business expansion, supplier diversity will play a key role in jumpstarting this global economy. If Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American suppliers are going to prosper in this global marketplace, supplier diversity professionals will have to be effective champions.   In other words, we must build on lessons learned, share best practices and work together as we share the opportunity the world has to engage the thousands of incredible minority firms that are ready to do their part in restoring a vibrant global economy.   

This seminar is designed to provide owners of new supplier diversity initiatives the key tools and strategies required to implement a robust process in their organization.  This session will also provide stakeholders of mature programs some fresh approaches to advancing minority supplier development within their organizations and throughout the global marketplace.  This interactive one and a half day seminar is designed to maximize participant interaction and provide insights on taking your initiative to the next level.  Regardless of your level of experience, if supplier diversity is important to your company or to your major customers, you cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

These seminars are facilitated by Ralph G. Moore, recognized as one of the leading practitioners in supplier diversity.  RGMA has been the primary training resource for NMSDC for the past 17 years.
