Who Should Attend This program is presented for Hispanic and other professionals in supply management.

This program is not exclusive to any one race or ethnic background, but the emphasis is for Hispanics in supply management to address concerns that they may face on a routine basis in the workplace: experiences that are unique to them. Our topics are relevant for many supply management professionals and as such, many diverse individuals are invited to learn and network at this event. ISM has many networking opportunities for individuals to share their unique experiences; including local affiliates and groups and forums.
