If you have ever wanted to delve into the core of supplier diversity, challenge commonplace myths, and learn more about its pivotal role in fostering a thriving economy, you’re in the right place.

Yet, diversity of thought, diversity of perspective, and diversity of people have always been at the forefront of innovation and creativity. It’s the common denominator across nearly every aspect of life, from entrepreneurship and corporate enterprise to politics, immigration, and workplace culture.
