The informational webcast discusses how higher education institutions can be complex organizations, and developing and managing a supplier diversity program that is impactful and small business centric can be challenging and even confusing. 

Therefore, there are key considerations and strategies to consider when building an effective supplier diversity program, for instance: 

• • Determining if you have the right people in place, how to communicate objectives, how to gain allies, and how to develop an accountability process
• • Discovering elements of a good policy, including how to review or write the policy
• • Understanding the supplier diversity lifecycle, including the who-what-how and the critical elements of tracking and reporting
