Cisco's Executive Mentor Protégé’ ProgramThe Global Supplier Diversity team kicked off its Executive Mentor Protégé’ Program (EMP2) this year on September 25 and September 28, 2009. The Supplier Diversity Operations team began protégé solicitations during the July–August timeframe, performed extensive data analysis, and selected the suppliers according to the criteria of our program. After this extensive process, the final recommendations were provided to Cisco executives to make their final selection. The second year of the EMP2 class is a great mix of suppliers. The model has grown and expanded from last year. We are proud to introduce this year’s Executive Mentor Protégé’ class of participants: We will be selecting executives and protégé’ participants for our EMP2 Program in fiscal year 2011 throughout the year. If you're interested in this opportunity and you are a diverse company certified with WBENC or NMSDC and currently an active supplier of Cisco or want more information about our EMP2 opportunities, email us at gsdbd-emp2@cisco.com. |
