NGLCC wants to share your LGBT Business Success Story Video

15 Years of LGBT Business Success

Share Your Business Success Stories

As NGLCC celebrates 15 years of creating an ecosphere of unprecedented opportunities for LGBT business owners and our Corporate Partners, we want to tell the world about what being a proud member of the NGLCC family means to you. We also want to know what you were up to 15 years ago, and where you hope to be in the future.

National Supplier Spotlight

Socio

Jeremy Bellman and Gonzo Araya created Socio to help sourcing professionals, their stakeholders, and suppliers work together as partners – an expression of the passion they have for helping people work better together.

Six years ago, they made a connection during an NGLCC matchmaking event that developed into a relationship with a corporate partner. To cultivate that relationship, they developed a strategy that included regularly scheduled phone calls, targeted emails, and mentorship program participation.

Corporate Spotlight

Nedra Dickson of Accenture

From the right thing to do, to becoming an imperative. This is how Accenture, a leading global professional services company driving innovation in strategy, consulting, digital, technology and operations, began to realize it made business sense to utilize diverse suppliers. Committed to leveraging the right diverse suppliers across all categories, today Accenture’s US spend is approximately 30% of the Procurement spend.

Non-Profit Spotlight

I'm From Driftwod

I’m From Driftwood (IFD) is the brainchild of Founder and Executive Director, Nathan Manske, who recently celebrated the 8th Anniversary of his beloved organization. Manske was inspired after seeing the film “MILK” to do something meaningful in this world. He named his organization “I’m From Driftwood” in a nod to the now famous photograph, in which Milk holds a sign with the message “I’m from Woodmere, NY."
