ECTC offers seminar for ‘diverse’ potential vendors

“Diverse” business owners can learn about opportunities for doing business with Elizabethtown Community and Technical College at a June 19 seminar on campus.

“The key is ‘opportunity,’” said Dr. Thelma J. White, ECTC president.  “We want to provide area diverse business owners with the opportunity to easily learn about, and compete for, the goods and services that are needed here at our college as well as at other area colleges within the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.”

The event supports  KCTCS’ Supplier Diversity Initiative.  

The overall objective of the initiative is to ensure KCTCS meets the 2010-2016 Strategic Plan goals to “reflect the diversity of the students and employees of our 16 colleges and the citizens of the commonwealth of Kentucky.” 

Once a diverse business is registered with the initiative, it is notified by phone and email when a matching opportunity occurs. 

The event is 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. June 19 in the Regional Post-Secondary Educational Center on the ECTC campus at 600 College Street Road in Elizabethtown.

For reservatons or more information, call 706-8456. Interested diverse suppliers can go to www.supplierdiversity.kctcs.edu to learn more about the initiative and to register a company.
