We were privileged to hear from a plethora of community partners from in and around the region, including industry giants like Amgen, UNC Health, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, CSL, WakeMed, Duke Energy Corporation, and Wake County Economic Development. Their informative updates showcased the vibrancy and innovation driving our local economy forward.

The Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce our Supplier Diversity Workshops in partnership with Town of Holly Springs and FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies of Holly Springs. Supplier diversity is a company’s commitment to do more business with small, minority, women, disabled, LGBT+, and veteran-owned businesses, which have traditionally been overlooked in purchasing decisions. By working to increase supplier diversity, governments and corporations are helping diverse-owned businesses gain an equal share in the market.  Supplier diversity is not just seen as the right thing to do – it is also good business. Supplier diversity programs:  * Include service providers across every imaginable industry—from consulting to staffing, education, construction, design, technology and more.  expand access and promote competition in a supply base, improving product quality and helping drive down costs.  * Help create jobs, building economic vitality within communities. Join us for a free series of educational workshops designed to provide information on valuable tools and resources for businesses – whether small and/or diverse businesses. These workshops will help prepare your company to interact and conduct business with Corporate America or with the Public Sector. Visit hollyspringschamber.org to sign up for the workshops. #hollyspringsnc #supplierdiversity
