Last month, LeChase participated in the Upstate New York Supplier Diversity Summit. LeChase Director of DEI & Supplier Diversity Stephanie Pennington was a panelist at the event. Her panel focused on the topic of supplier diversity opportunities, sharing information on how diverse suppliers and subcontractors can best prepare for future opportunities with LeChase or similar organizations.
Over 400 minority and women-owned businesses attended the full-day event at the Hyatt Regency in Rochester. The summit program featured many speakers and presentations and provided opportunities for networking between MWBEs and summit sponsors.
As a sponsor, LeChase had a table at the event, where LeChase team members Brianna Brockmann and Harriette Taylor were able to connect with many MWBE suppliers and share the opportunities for partnering with LeChase.
