Vizient, Inc. announced a new educational opportunity for supply chain professionals to earn continuing education (CE) credits in supplier diversity. The CE opportunity, 2021 Supply Chain Leadership Series: Spotlight on Supplier Diversity Expert Panel, is a four-part webinar series.
For two years, Vizient has provided its member hospitals virtual opportunities to connect, learn, share, and guide one another on creating and delivering successful supplier diversity programs through quarterly expert panel meetings. Under the new program, participants will now earn continuing education credits. Dates of the four-part series are March 9, June 2, September 2 and November 9.
“Offering continuing education credits in supplier diversity marks the next step in Vizient’s strategy to help our member hospitals reach their supply chain diversity and inclusion goals and further impact their communities,” said Shaleta Dunn, senior director of Vizient’s Supplier Diversity Program. “We are proud to lead this effort, which will help certified minority, women, veteran, LGBT, and disability-owned businesses achieve success in the healthcare supply chain.”
Vizient has been a leader in healthcare supply chain diversity. In October, Vizient added certified LGBT and disability owned businesses to its list of certified diverse-owned businesses in its Supplier Diversity Program, which provides a wide-ranging choice of diverse supplier and product agreements, monitoring and reporting of Tier 1 and Tier 2 diversity spend, mentoring and networking opportunities, and analytics.
Registration for the 2021 Supply Chain Leadership Series: Spotlight on Supplier Diversity Expert Panel is open to all Vizient members.
