Flint & Genesee Group

Description

The Flint & Genesee Business Bridge is an online directory of minority-owned small businesses in Genesee County. Listing your business on the Business Bridge connects you with other minority-owned businesses in the area, as well as larger local organizations and community members seeking to do business with minority-owned businesses. The Business Bridge also allows you to bid on non-government contracts and engage with other businesses through networking events and trainings.

The Business Bridge Training Series will cover a range of topics relevant to business owners, large and small. October's session will focus on "Diverse Contracting Strategies."

Many large businesses make commitments to advancing their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts but struggle with how to move the needle on supplier diversity. 

This workshop explores the business case for supplier diversity and best practices, along with resources to help, obtain, leverage, and maintain diversity certifications. Business owners are also encouraged to attend to hear more about what it takes to win contracts on all levels.
