Think Strategy! Maximizing the LGBTBE® Certification

Description

Think Strategy! Maximizing the LGBTBE^® Certification

The Chamber will host the Regional LGBTBE^® Roundtable Program on March 24, 2022 with a cohort of LGBTBE^® Certified Chamber members. 

This event is limited to a cohort of LGBTBE^® Certified members.  Please email info@houstonlgbtchamber.com to learn more about how to participate in future programming.

What role does the LGBTBE® Certification play in overall business development for your business?  Any high-growth business creates a business development approach to identify, nurture and acquire new clients and business opportunities to drive growth and profitability. This approach includes identifying sales targets and strategies to pursue new business opportunities. LGBTBE® Certified businesses, through a targeted and executed approach, can maximize the certification as part of a company’s comprehensive business development solution and growth objectives.

Participants will discuss:

• What does transformation mean when it comes to procurement and supply chains of the future?
• How does certification increase your opportunities to solve problems?
• What’s the value in targeting problems to solve, versus clients to target?
• Why isn’t certification working for me?

About the Regional LGBTBE^® Roundtable Program
The Regional LGBTBE^® Roundtable Program is a supplier engagement & member education program designed to support LGBTBE® Certified Businesses in the greater Houston region.  The regional program connects a cohort of LGBTBE® Certified businesses through in-person and virtual events to supplier diversity professionals and other certified businesses to help them learn, grow and build their network.  

The program is consistent with the Chamber's mission of supporting members through business growth, education, and advocacy.  As an LGBT Business Enterprise and Chamber member, certified LGBTBE® businesses are automatically eligible to participate in the regional LGBTBE® Roundtable Program, comprised exclusively of certified, LGBTQ+-owned companies.  

Through increasing the number of LGBTBE® Certified Businesses in the region, the program focuses on connecting LGBTQ+ business owners to supply chain opportunities.  The program aims to address the economic inequities and challenges, through supply chain engagement, that LGBTQ+ business owners face because of systemic discrimination and marginalization due to sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, especially transgender, people of color and women-owned LGBTQ+ businesses.

This event is limited to a cohort group participation.  Please email info@houstonlgbtchamber.com to learn more about how to participate in future programming.
