"Attending the diversity supplier series for small business leaders was one of the most valuable uses of my time in 2018. As a small business owner the information provided was invaluable. The engaging and highly educated speakers applied real-life business practicum and principles that made the application of content to my day to day business effective and seamless. Not to mention, networking in the small intimate class setting with other CEOs allowed us to ask questions and support each other in situations that were new to us in business or needed an overhaul. It was refreshing to gain different perspective from other CEOs and ask questions in regard to current business situations to develop solutions that work. I have already implemented strategies and lessons learned from the courses and have seen a significant improvement in my own business process. I can’t recommend dedicating the time to business growth by attending this course enough.”
