Supplier Diversity is a corporate program that encourages the use of minority-owned, operated and controlled, for-profit enterprises as vendors.

As with other disadvantaged populations, many individuals with disabilities turn to business ownership as a means to economic independence.

Americans with disabilities should be fully participating in supplier diversity, but companies have expressed some needs.

The Abilities Fund and USBLN ® have joined together to address the needs.

 How to define disability  How much ownership is sufficient  Should there be a commitment to further the employment of people with disabilities

The Abilities Fund and the USBLN® want to work together with states to design strategies for opening opportunities to businesses owned by individuals with disabilities.

 Host “Buying Conferences”  Conduct roundtable discussions with stakeholders to identify challenges and opportunities for developing a Diversity/Disability Supplier Program  Additional Ideas
