Training & Certification Leader: LEARN MORE
Meet Our Team.
Our Committee Members support ASDP as volunteers and are all full-time Supplier Diversity Professionals. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of ASDP’s team, our students will always have access to information on the latest regulations, best practices, and innovative ideas within the field. The ASDP team is responsible for developing educational content, executing training, communicating ASDP news, and providing updates on new and emerging regulations. They also create and manage discussion boards for certified Supplier Diversity Professionals – providing best practices, advice on how to manage programs, and networking opportunities.
The ASDP team is passionate about Supplier Diversity and sharing knowledge and experience with other professionals. Many of ASDP’s team members were brought into their roles with little to no training resources of their own. To ensure that others in the field have greater ongoing access to the critical knowledge and skills needed to perform their roles, ASDP’s team is dedicated to helping new and existing Supplier Diversity Professionals fulfill their responsibilities confidently. ASDP wants to support your ability to build the best possible Supplier Diversity Program, specific to your organization’s needs.
