The University is hosting a today as part of its “Go Local” economic initiative. The event will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Drumlins Country Club ballroom.
Local business owners can meet with University purchasing managers to identify opportunities to see how their goods and services can supply the needs of the University.
Go Local is the University’s commitment to leverage the economic power of the institution to improve regional economic inclusion through four key areas: building, hiring, buying and community connections. The initiative seeks to broaden participation of local, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses in construction and service contracting opportunities; expand hiring of local residents, with a focus on neighborhoods in need of job opportunities; and increase economic growth and employment in ϲ through the University’s purchasing activities.
The team leads invite the Central New York community to visit the Vendor Fair to find out more about the many opportunities to partner with the University through providing goods and services and the variety of jobs available. The goal is to create more connections between the University and the community to further strengthen our local economy, increase employment and create more opportunities for local residents.
The event is also a great way for the campus community to meet local and diverse businesses and discuss opportunities in their units that they may have.
