A Letter from the President
Dear colleagues:
We are already almost halfway through the year and with so many initiatives and programs underway here at CAMSC, we couldn’t be busier. This momentum continues upward and we’re excited for what we see, and what is to come. With the success of the recently held 2012 Diversity Procurement Fair, the CAMSC team is switching gears and ramping up for the delivery of several noteworthy events happening in just a few short months. Without the generosity and support of both corporate members and the suppliers, these events would not be possible. In particular,CAMSC would like to gratefully acknowledge the sponsors of the 2012 Diversity Procurement Fair, including Xerox, GM, RIM, Johnson Controls, and many others. We would also be remiss not to thank the current and prospective suppliers for their participation and support. Much thanks to all.
We are happy to provide you with the dates for the upcoming supplier diversity events below – please take note of the Save the Date details and mark your calendars for what is happening throughout the next few months.
Cassandra Dorrington
President
