SATELLITE SEMINAR -   THURSDAY,  APRIL 19, 2007

                The Business Case for Diversity in a Social Responsibility Context

While the concept of diversity is not new, , it has become more complex and reaches

into all layers of the organization.  Over time, diversity management in business has

transitioned from an emphasis on "achieving the numbers" into an essential business

strategy.  Commitment to opportunities for a diverse supplier base and commitment

to a diverse workforce are key components to attracting the best suppliers and

employees while ensuring business success.  Discussion topics will include build-

ing goals and measurements across the organization, how supply managers play

a key role in encouraging supplier commitment to diversity programs, and what a

model program might look like.
