Why are some categories left blank with no resources to access? You've got a great website, and I'd like to see more.
This is our brand new site, and we have over 200 existing pages to format. Once we have reformatted each existing page (some of which you cannot view yet), then we will be adding more resources. We appreciate your patience, and note that even though some information pages are missing, the technology such as blogs, polls, online networking, membership directory and Mom's Marketplace are fully functioning and ready for you to use. Enjoy the new site!

Karen Blackwell manages supplier development and diversity at Nestlé USA. The company's buyers, she says, are clearly "the people who have the most opportunity to make a difference in supplier diversity," but she's part of that solution, too, with supplier diversity as her sole responsibility.
"My role is to help the buyers implement supplier diversity strategies," she says. "I help them identify diverse companies and identify opportunities for bringing them in. We sit down together and work out a strategy to make it happen."
