In the first installment of the Partnership's One Houston Together webinar series, we will discuss supplier diversity an often underutilized resource for business. What is it and why is it important? How can supplier diversity have long-term impact on your business, help strengthen your supply chain, and make a positive community impact? 

We'll explore the findings of a new report released by the Partnership and the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council that reveals the economic impact of the region's certified minority business enterprises (MBEs) and what this first-of-its-kind report says about the untapped potential of these businesses. 

Key webinar takeaways will include: 

• How including more MBEs in your purchasing strategy can have a positive long-term impact on your business and strengthen your supply chain. 
• How spending with MBEs helps grow our regional economy. 

One Houston Together is the Partnership’s commitment to leverage the power of the business community to reduce inequities in our region. The effort is focused on two priority areas: increasing racial equity in the corporate talent pipeline as well as board leadership and accelerating the growth of underrepresented businesses.
