Eboni Edwards has exceeded support expectations for NVBDC’s Veteran Businesses and Supplier Diversity.
NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference on November 9th and 10th went off without a hitch and with full attendance. NVBDC is grateful to everyone that participated and celebrated Veteran-owned Businesses. NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference 2022 aims to bring together Supplier Diversity professionals and Veteran businesses in a face-face environment to provide procurement opportunities, develop business relationships, and educational opportunities.
Weeks ago, NVBDC held Award nominations for various categories and were open for anyone to submit whom they thought were deserving of the award. Those award nominations were generated and announced at NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference.
Eboni Edwards, Global Supplier Diversity Development Manager for CBRE, won NVBDC’s “Presidents Award 2022”. The award was accepted live by Fred Daigle, Strategic Sourcing Manager for CBRE, during the awards ceremony.
PRESIDENTS AWARD:
The President and CEO review the activity of our corporations, individual corporate members, our certified veterans, and our resource partners. Recommendations are solicited from all NVBDC team members and submitted to the President and CEO for their deliberation and selection. Each awardee has exceeded a set of standards and criteria well above normal expectations. This award is at the discretion of the President and CEO and may be given multiple times. The set of standards and criteria are reviewed yearly to ensure that we have an appropriate candidate for each award.
“For those that know me personally, you know how much this award means to me. As a military brat my parents are my true hero’s and to get this award on this special day is truly an honor. I can’t tell you all how much I love working at a company that lets me explore my passion with such vigor. And a company that really means what they say when it comes to the work of Supplier Diversity. Lastly, we all know that this isn’t a one-person award. My teammates, executives and boss all deserve recognition for the work that we do for suppliers across the globe. So, congratulate them too for all of the work in pushing our message forward. We are a newly formed team, but I’m excited about all that we can do together. Thank you to all the Veterans for your service! And thank you NVBDC for this amazing award!”
