 They say it takes a strong man to be with a strong woman. Well I don't know if I qualify by association, but I do know that Delores Holley has been a storing influence on GNEMSDC and the CMSDC for almost two decades. This December will mark the end of a long and illustrious career Delores,or as we affectionately call her, Dee, will retire from her position as Vice President of the GNEMSDC, where she has served with distinction since 2001. Delores started with the Council in the 1990s and served as the CMSDC Chairperson while she was at Northeast Utilities. During the transition from my predecessor, Elaine William, Delores served as Interim President of the CMSDC. Over her long tenure with the Council, Dee was a stalwart for MBE development and having fun while working hard. We will miss her in so many ways and I am sure you will as well. Our hope is that we maintain her commitment to excellence and a good time. I hope that you all can come to the December 3 Holiday Business Card Exchange at the Farmington Marriott to tell Dee; thank you. | |

The export presentation will replace the seminar scheduled on November 9. Here is a message from UTC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Louis R. Chênevert: "United Technologies Corporation seeks the most innovative and competitive suppliers in order to maintain our competitive advantage. We spent the 1990s working on internal efficiencies and cost with great success. In the last several years we have worked aggressively with our supply base as real partners to eliminate inefficiencies, enable lower cost and deliver the highest quality to our customers. Diverse suppliers have been essential to our performance and will be for decades to come. We also require of our top suppliers and integrators the same supplier diversity commitments we expect from ourselves. Please browse this supplier diversity website where you'll learn how diverse suppliers are a priority for UTC and what your opportunities with our company may be." Following the Quarterly Meeting, we will have the annual CT Holiday Business Card Exchange at the Hartford Marriott, right around the corner from the meeting The HBC Exchange will start promptly at 5:30 and conclude at 7:30 PM.
