Virtual Book Club

JOIN THE WBEC-WEST BOOK CLUB 

You will have fun, increase your knowledgebase, and build relationships.

____________________________ 

WBEC-West in partnership with The Walt Disney Supplier Diversity Team  is launching our 2021 mini mentorship through books. This year the program will discuss three books.  The books have been selected based on the projected business trends for 2021.  In order to ensure that everyone who participates in this years’ program gets the most out of each session, we have created participants expectations.  Please review the expectation before registering. During the kickoff session we will go over the expectations and will also ask for a WBE volunteer to assist Arnice Lamb Manager, Supplier Diversity Strategic Sourcing The Walt Disney Company & Dr. Pamela Williamson CEO WBEC-West in facilitating the sessions.

Our goal is to have highly interactive discussions of the books we read. In order to achieve that goal we will need everyone to:

1. Keep on topic, but feel free to introduce information that is relevant to the discussion
2. Allow others to express themselves, this experience was created for everyone in  attendance to learn and grow through conversation.
3. Remember that it is ok to disagree as long as it is done respectfully
4. All meetings will start on time and end on time and will last one (1) hour.
5. When you speak, please state your name

And remember this is a book club so it is important that you come prepared, whether it is with notes for discussion or simply reading the section of the book that will be discussed.

Desperation breeds innovation – Daymond put his creative ways to work, growing his company over the years into the billion dollar brand FUBU. Each and every day, Daymond John wakes up and says to himself, “Rise and Grind!”
