Edna M. Zapata-Fuller 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.
Edna M. Zapata-Fuller , Supplier Diversity Manager for State Compensation Insurance Fund, won NVBDC’s “Presidents Award 2022”. The award was accepted live 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.
“I am immensely grateful & honored to receive the 2022 NVBDC Presidents award. No one succeeds alone and I am so blessed to have incredible leaders at State Compensation Insurance Fund fully onboard to support our efforts. State Compensation is committed to supporting and providing opportunity to qualified diverse suppliers. We put the Supplier Diversity initiative in place because it is the right way to conduct business, however, more success should be gained with our diverse and veteran entrepreneurs. ” Said by: Edna M.
