Bank of America to host diversity summits

Boston and Hartford, Conn., will be the sites of a diversity summit hosted by Bank of America as part of its supplier diversity and development program.

The summits provide opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses to meet with Bank of America executives, buyers and supply managers as well as other key suppliers.

The Boston summit will be held Oct. 11 at the Marriott Copley in Boston. The Hartford summit will take place Oct. 13 at the Hartford/Windsor Marriott Airport.

Created in 1990, Bank of America’s diversity program aims to provider diverse businesses the opportunity to participate in competitive contracting and procurement processes, and to increase the amount of products and services the bank obtains directly from businesses that are owned by minorities, women and veterans with disabilities.
