Supplier Diversity


The Institute for Entrepreneurial Thinking is the leading authority on issues related to minority business development and supplier diversity. Their mission is to help their clients improve the outcomes of their investments in these areas. They are an objective, balanced and practical resource committed to providing leading edge insight to their clients about the evolving opportunities and challenges related to race and business.

The brother that runs The Institute is Dr. Melvin J. Gravely. Mel lives in the greater Cincinnati area. I've known him since I came to Cincinnati OH in the mid-1990s. He is truly a remarkable brother with strong beliefs about all issues related to entrepreneurship and business ownership. In fact, he recently accepted a position as the director of the Minority Business Accelerator working with the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Anyhow, Mel publishes a newsletter each month. The title of the current newsletter is Getting to the Next Level: The Real Challenges of Supplier Diversity.
