With over three decades of experience in corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and serving the Supplier Diversity community, Ana Maria Lowry and Susan Bailey Schramm created this book to begin a dialogue. The purpose is to: a) provide a vision for what is possible to achieve with a Trusted Diverse Ecosystem, and b) invite readers to personally assess the current stage of their own organization's Workforce DEI and Supplier Diversity programs. They believe a Trusted Diverse Ecosystem is the solution for corporations and government agencies.
