Supplier Diversity at the 2024 UCSF Staff Resource Fair

Supply Chain Management Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program (SDIP) was represented by Marliz Copado, along with the recently awarded Eddie H. Jackson Supplier Diversity Award, at last week's at the UCSF Staff Resource Fair. Along with tasty cupcakes (from the local and diversity-certified Cupcakin’ Bakery), Marliz offered advice to UCSF staff on how to source and utilize more small, local, and diverse suppliers. The SCM and AIM colleagues stopped by to help support the table throughout the day and added a great synergy to the amazing work that we are doing collectively at UCSF. If you or your suppliers have questions about the Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program at UCSF, reach out to Marliz.

"Driving Innovation" Webinar

We wrapped up our Small Business Month webinar and had a great turnout with 108 registrants. 77% were suppliers/vendors and 54% had a business diversity certification. We look forward to continuing our outreach. Looking to get a small, local, diverse supplier into BearBuy?
