Happy National Entrepreneurship Week!
The Cognitive Campaign Collective is proud to announce the launch of the Global Supplier Diversity Council. The Global Supplier Diversity Council is our new platform for advancing entrepreneurial policy at the local, state, federal, and global levels.
For the past eight years, the Global Supplier Diversity Conference has been a cornerstone of our work, built on three pillars: educating suppliers, activating contracts, and sustaining business relationships. Under the leadership of Monica McCoy, the conference has opened doors for countless founders and created meaningful progress in supplier diversity.
Now, we're taking the next step. The Global Supplier Diversity Council will transform the stories, insights, and real-world challenges shared by entrepreneurs into actionable policy that strengthens bottom lines and creates systemic change.
This evolution reflects our commitment to ensuring that diverse entrepreneurs aren't just heard, but that they're shaping the policies that govern how business gets done in America and beyond.
We're grateful to every founder, speaker, sponsor, media partner, and supporter who has been part of this journey. Your voices matter, and through the Council, they will drive the policy solutions our entrepreneurial community needs.
Here's to a new era of advocacy, impact, and opportunity.
