3. Supplier Diversity At Purdue
Mission Statement: Provide leadership and develop relationships that will result in Purdue’s campus’ supplier base reflecting the minority and women business profile of their region.
Overview:
In 2005 Purdue University took steps to enhance their supplier diversity activities and recruited a well known small diverse business advocate to lead their efforts to increase the contracts awarded to Indiana women and minority businesses.
The success of the Supplier Diversity program depends on:
Identifying qualified and certified M/WBE’s
Insuring that timely, accurate information on opportunities at Purdue is available to those M/WBE’s,
Assisting Purdue staff who have procurement and contracting authority are able to source qualified M/WBE firms.
Major Activities and Initiatives:
- Purdue ACCESS Program
- Supplier Diversity Development Advocacy Council
- Construction Connection
- Relationships to Partnership Conference (Nov. 17, 2017)
- Supplier Diversity Development Coalition of Greater Lafayette
