About this Event

We invite admins from Portland Means Progress businesses to join us on Wednesday, March 6th, 2024 for our Supplier Diversity Training for Administrative Professionals from 11:00am - 12:00pm. In this training, we will focus on educating, supporting, and empowering administrative professionals to have a direct impact on intentional purchasing within their organization. This training will also include a panel discussion with purchasing champions from other Portland Means Progress businesses. Anyone who is in charge of making everyday purchases within their organization is encouraged and invited to attend!

Following the Supplier Diversity Training for Administrative Professionals training, we will gather for the Mercatus Catering Fair from 12:00pm- 2:00pm, where we will have BIPOC catering businesses in the space providing sample size items off of their menu. This is a great opportunity to find out more about local businesses that can provide catering for your company’s upcoming meetings and/or events. The Catering Fair is open to all training attendees and Portland Means Progress businesses, so please spread the word within your company.

This event is exclusive for employees of businesses committed to actions through Portland Means Progress.
