GETTING THE MOST OF YOUR WBENC CERTIFICATION______ Back To Main Page
2008 WBDC Annual Meeting & Awards Luncheon
August 13th, 2008
at Disney's Contemporary Hotel
in Orlando, FL
An Event You Don't Want to Miss...
As stated by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Society is always taken by surprise by any new example of common sense.” This event is the manifestation of applied common sense. Imagine having the opportunity to meet corporate sponsors, fellow business owners and other representatives who not only understand the importance of supplier development and inclusion, but who actively promote it within their own supply chain. Emerson also stated, "People only see what they are prepared to see", so register today and make plans to attend this event and be prepared to see and hear the unexpected. Don’t miss the opportunity!”
Robert McCormes-Ballou, C.P.M., A.P.P.
