Eye on Diversity: Making it in America is a half hour Television Show and Internet Magazine created for entertainment and educational value. We will highlight the impact of diversity in the corporate world - how diversity in hiring and using diversity owned businesses helps corporations and how corporations can help the community. At first it seems like a nuts and bolts approach until you meet the personalities and families of the people. The positive impact on their lives is significant as they are encouraged to become masters of their own fate while creating jobs within their community. Through interviews and coverage of events and activities each episode will promote and encourage diversity within the workforce and community by featuring a company’s or organization’s diversity commitment and initiatives. A show host (or hostess) will tie three segments together per episode. EoD will document the opportunities , challenges, and success of minority owned businesses as they navigate the supplier diversity process. EoD will highlight institutions who are successfully meeting their corporate civic responsibilities while at the same time enjoying business success.
With
the NY & NJ Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc. as the
cornerstone of our research, our goal is to showcase the different
accomplishments and future plans of the council. We will watch and
even stimulate networking in whatever sphere we are filming. We
will search for stories of cooperation that are little known outside
the industries or communities they are in. Instead of waiting for a chance hit on a news magazine show, “Eye
on Diversity” will build interest with promos and continue
the story with follow-ups. Coverage like this is penetrating and
long lasting.
This is good for the community, good for the economy, and in the
end good for the corporations who already support and need talented
and dedicated workers. For although these stories of cooperation
may be little known outside their industry ….
…“Eye on Diversity” will bring you right there.
