The June 2009 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine features several top U.S. companies, and their supplier diversity strategies. Altria is one of those featured companies, where Connie Smith is the director of Supplier Diversity Development. I photographed Connie a while back, creating a variety of headshots to be used for publicity purposes. Well, one of those publicity opportunities landed her photo in the pages of Black Enterprise Magazine. Connie's photo is published on page 152 (left), as part of the article "Supplier Diversity—a Winning Strategy in Tough Times". Some other companies in the article include Coca-Cola, Macy's, Denny's, The Home Depot, Kellogg, and Allstate. Thanks to Connie and all the other supplier diversity managers for your continued efforts.
Always good to see what you have been up to!.
