Horizon Staffing’s Post

"We source the best for the job!", Oh really? Your preferred vendor list does not appeal to my client or their audience, do you mind defining what you mean by "best"... Join us for a necessary conversation to discuss 8 Best Practices for Developing a Supplier Diversity Initiative! Together CEO Ricardo Hicks, Jr. of Tech Factory , CEO Nubia Younge, Black In Travel and myself Zoe Moore, Moore Consulting Agency LLC will share insights about the challenges small businesses face during the RFP process, how to collaborate with local businesses across the globe and the benefits of inclusive sourcing to positively impact local economies. We're excited to be speaking at Meeting Professionals International #WEC24 Louisville! Tuesday, May 21 at 2:30pm - 3:15pm EST. Sadly, Supplier Diversity is not widely practiced across the meetings & events industry but it is conversations like this one that encourage #eventprofs and associations to reassess their preferred vendor lists, supply chain networks and sourcing methods. If you have been the person that said "We source the best for the job" - this session is for you! The dialogue will encourage you to consider how increased diversity of your caterers, A/V companies, DJs and event service collaborators will improve your ability to innovate, reach more clients and strengthen your bottom line. Don't miss out—secure your spot now and level up your event game! #CraftYourExperience #SipBourbon #DerbywithME at #WECLouisville! Strategically Yours, Grow with Zomo Lets GROW 🌱 ogether!

Just a further reminder regarding these events in May!

Another day, another opportunity to network with fellow business owners in Somerset! The recent Quarterly Economic Survey from BCC revealed that high numbers of job vacancies coupled with low numbers of available candidates continue to result in challenging hiring conditions. This sparked an interesting discussion around our own experiences. I was also able to share how we help our clients to overcome these challenges to enable them to grow and thrive!

Just a few days away! You don't have to be a business professional to network. Networking is about growing the number of people connected to you. Through those connections, you broaden your reach and connect with others that may eventually become valuable resources to filling any gaps you come across as you walk your journey.
