Testimonial

"I want to commend the DA4S organization and excellent Board leadership. I have been in corporate procurement and supplier diversity roles, as well as a past president of an NMSDC council over the last 12 years and therefore have attended many vendor connectivity events and I can emphatically say this was one of the best. As an advocate for MBE's and a practitioner of supplier development, I would say that you did more in one day, than many do over months and years to move diverse businesses forward.

The whole day had a very "real" feeling to it and I loved the two minute pitches.

I know that you can have a good idea, but it takes great people to execute, so I commend the Board of Directors for their role in keeping the event true to its mission. I was pleased to see Tom Thattacherry be added. I worked with Tom when he was at Lilly and know that he is a true champion of supplier diversity and will be an asset to your Board.

Thanks again for a great event and l look forward to attending the conference in Newark."
