Power Lunch V - Bridges
As part of UC Procurement’s commitment to expand our supplier base among small and diverse businesses, on February 1, 2019, UC Procurement participated in the Golden Gate Business Association (GGBA) ‘Power Lunch V – Bridges’ to celebrate GGBA's commitment to building bridges across economic, geographic, cultural, and inter-community boundaries.
The Power Lunch series launched in 2015 to showcase extraordinary LGBTQ entrepreneurs, high performing LGBTQ businesses and key stakeholders who are transforming the world. GGBA is the San Francisco Bay Area’s largest LGBTQ business advocacy organization. GGBA helps members grow their businesses through marketing, networking, procurement, and referrals, offers workshops and seminars to develop business skills and expertise, and advocates for positive economic, social, and political change.
