Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI) and Skye Connect Incorporated have partnered to present a one-day supplier diversity training entitled The Business Imperative of Economic Supplier Diversity with New Metrics and Strategies. The training will take place on Wednesday, July 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at BCRI. The training will be led by nationally recognized supplier diversity expert, Alice Gordon, CEO of Skye Connect Incorporated, along with Layle McKelvey, Supplier Diversity Manager from United Airlines.
