PhilEx Live: Vendor Management, Procurement, and DEI

Developed out of a trending conversation on the Philanthropy Exchange (PhilEx), the Council invites you to join a peer-led discussion of how organizations are adjusting their contract management and vendor policies to advance their commitment to DEI. 

Join peers from across the country in a discussion focused on: 

• How organizations vet new vendors through a DEI conscious lens?
• How/when do organizations review existing vendors?
• How do organizations manage the contract life cycle?

Peer Discussion Leads

• Karen Appelbaum, Operations Director, Northwest Area Foundation

• Veronica Borgonovi, Director, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, FSG
