The “Diversity” Movement – A Look Back and What's Ahead: WE Panel Discussion 5/12/2021
During ECRM's Diversity Week Programs, in which diverse-owned suppliers had the opportunity to meet with more than 500 buyers representing the food and beverage, general erchandise and health and beauty care categories, I had the privilege of hosting a webcast featuring an all-star roster of panelists who discussed how we can create a more diverse and inclusive industry.
The panelists were all board members of WE, an organization of women industry leaders who seek to advance health and wellness by enabling diversity, inclusion and engagement to expand women’s voices in the industry; create environments that encourage mentorship, access and networking; and to amplify and encourage innovation that supports the future of health. The event was moderated by Michele Muhammad, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, DSE Healthcare Solutions, and panelists inlcuded:
- Jocelyn Konrad, EVP, Chief Pharmacy Officer, Rite Aid
- Lisa Paley, General Manager, North America, Glaxo Smith Kline
- Roz Chapman, President, The Chapman Edge
