Contact Council Enterprises, Inc. for event and ticket information.
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 from 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM (CT)
The goal of the Symposium is to recognize, promote and further the relationships between We Energies and its prime contractors with the minority business community. The Symposium will provide a forum for minority business owners and buying decision makers to gain insight into the issues affecting We Energies current business environment and supplier diversity initiative.
An exhibit area will showcase a wide variety of opportunities for minority businesses to provide products and services to We Energies and its prime contractors, as well as provide an opportunity to meet with members of We Energies Supply Chain and End User Departments.
The Symposium will also offer an opportunity to network with other minority business owners, buying decision makers, and business resource organizations.
Parking: Parking is available for a fee at the Grand Avenue Parking Structure across the street (The Shops of Grand Avenue - 275 W Wisconsin Avenue).
The event starts at 8:30 AM, but you should arrive between 7:30 - 8:30 AM. Aside from the continental breakfast that will be available and the great opportunities to network prior to the 8:30 AM start, you will need time to "check in" at a security station upon your arrival. Please remember to bring your photo ID.
Council Enterprise's role is to support and develop minority-owned businesses by facilitating important connections between corporations and minority suppliers. Our regional Council operates under the umbrella of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, one of the country's leading business membership organizations. It was chartered in 1972 to provide increased procurement and business opportunities for minority businesses of all sizes. The NMSDC network includes a national office in New York and 39 regional Councils across the country. There are 3,500 corporate members throughout the network, including most of America's largest publicly-owned, privately-owned and foreign-owned companies, as well as universities, hospitals and other buying institutions. As a regional Council, we certify and match minority-owned businesses (Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American) with member corporations that want to purchase goods and services. Through our events we are able to provide opportunities of exchange and partnership to both supplier and corporate members. Our territory includes the state of Wisconsin, Central Illinois and Iowa. Council leadership is provided by President, Floyd Rose, Ph.D.
