March Creating a Culture of Inclusion event to focus on diversity in business suppliers

(Editor's note 3-22-21: Unfortunately, we have to cancel tomorrow's event - stay tuned for a rescheduled date announcement.)

The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and the Urban League of Oklahoma City Inc. are continuing their partnership to provide practical resources for companies looking to boost their diversity, equity and inclusion with a March event focusing on connecting with diverse business suppliers. Attendees will hear from Dr. Johné Battle, vice president of diversity and inclusion at Dollar General, on March 23 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Battle will unpack why corporations like Dollar General and Walmart are investing time and resources to build inclusive sourcing strategies and make the business case for global supplier diversity and inclusion. In addition, he will highlight many of the practices corporations are implementing to achieve successful outcomes, what metrics are available to assess impact and what sustainable benefits companies are deriving from diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Individual tickets are $25 for Chamber and Urban League members or $40 for nonmembers to each session. To register or for more information, visit okcchamber.com/diversity.
