The Role of Diverse Suppliers in Usual Emergencies and Unusual Emergencies
How are we ensuring that diverse suppliers are fully integrated into utility emergency and disaster preparedness supply chains? At times like this, there are huge spikes in spending in critical areas and if DBEs are not already integrated into those value chains, it is unlikely that they will suddenly get an opportunity in an emergency. On top of that we may be prepared for the “usual” emergencies within our supply chain, but what happens with “unusual” emergencies?
During this webinar, set for we will hear from The Honorable Maida Coleman, Commissioner of the Missouri Public Service Commission and Joan Kerr, Director of Supplier Chain Responsibility from Pacific Gas & Electric Company. They will share their perspectives of the commission and utilities by looking at best practices to get diverse suppliers in the emergency procurement chain.
Join us on Wednesday, October 14, at 10am PST.

For this second part in looking at diverse suppliers in the emergency supply chain, we’ll hear from suppliers themselves. What kinds of products and services can we add to the emergency chain from diverse suppliers? How should we best identify suppliers and manage the relationship? In a session led by supplier diversity veteran Erica Patterson of Philadelphia Gas Works, we’ll hear from three women whose companies are key components of emergency spend.
