The Business Diversity Program (BDP) is committed to ensuring that vendors, suppliers, service providers, consultants, architects, engineers, and contractors who serve the University reflect the diversity of the Washington State business community. The Program helps strengthen the economic development and viability of small, minority and women owned businesses and helps to ensure that the University receives quality goods and services at competitive prices.
This event, which was organized by Shaun Spearmon and Lynn Beck of the BDP, gave attendees an opportunity to better understand these caterers鈥� capabilities and become educated about the wide variety of food options available to them when hosting 91爆料 sponsored events.
With an overwhelming number of attendees agreeing that the catering event was a worthwhile opportunity to meet new caterers for their college/school or department, this annual event proved to be a great success for the University community, as well as the catering business community.
