INCLUSION AT WORK SERIES
IMPACT OF DIVERSIFYING COMPANY SUPPLIER BASE
The Chamber and the Urban League of Oklahoma City brought together the leaders and managers of diversity programs from across the Oklahoma City region for the Inclusion at Work series. During five separate sessions speakers discussed strategies and programs that support diverse and vibrant workplaces. The series was developed to share resources and best practices for implementing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and to create dialogue about how businesses can work together on these issues. Recruiting and retaining diverse talent; training and leadership development; and employee resource groups were just some of the topics covered throughout the series.
In July 2022, the Chamber hosted a Corporate Community Strategy luncheon and presentation, “The Impact of Supplier Diversity: The Business Case for OKC Companies.” Karen Box, president of the Southwest Minority Supplier Development Council, delivered the keynote. It was followed by a panel discussion with local business leaders including Phil Busey Sr. of Delaware Resource Group and John Lopez of Lopez-Dorada Foods.
