About Diversity Economic Forum I would like to personally invite you to participate in the Diversity Economic Forum. Our goal is to focus on economic opportunity through entrepreneurship by showcasing successful multicultural entrepreneurs, enabling business owners to network with potential corporate and government partners and sharing effective small business practices. As a former Fortune 500 diversity executive, and a current MWBE, I founded Global Diversity Collaborative as a forum connecting like-minds for real-time news, collaboration, information and sharing. Our goal is to drive diversity and inclusion domestically and globally by bringing awareness to critical issues and develop game changing programs through programs, events and our consulting practice. I have interacted with peers in multiple countries and all have the same needs and desires. I strongly believe that what is needed is a vehicle that will bring awareness, grow our networks and showcase innovation to drive real change in our communities, corporations and businesses, and that is the purpose of Global Diversity Collaborative. Please accept my personal invitation to participate in the Diversity Economic Forum as we focus on economic opportunity through entrepreneurship. Warmest regards, Sherry Snipes Founder, Global Diversity Collaborative
