A.Wayne Gill's Business Classic has been re-released and now called "This Business of Supplier Diversity

  I am pleased to announce that my classic business fable, "Tales My Grandma Told Me" has been updated and re-released. The new title is now, "This Business of Supplier Diversity".

  What happens when you take a classic work and improve upon it? The outcome is This Business of Supplier Diversity; the revised edition of A.Wayne Gill’s 2007 standard-bearer, Tales My Grandma Told Me – A Business Diversity Fable. In this edition, Gill continues to explore the challenges of leveling the playing field for minority business owners, with wit, keen insight and entertaining twists. Filled with stories from his personal entrepreneurial journey and his long tenure at the supplier diversity table, This Business of Supplier Diversity is no ordinary business tome. It will make you laugh, it will make you think, and it will inspire you to action!

Small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses are the backbone of the American economy. Recent history has taught us that our national prosperity depends on how well we work together to expand opportunities for this vital business sector. This book is for anyone serious about making that potential a reality.

  My book is now available on Amazon for $9.95. 

   Also in concurrence with its release, I have partnered with Goodreads for a month long giveaway of "This Business of Supplier Diversity". Five people will win signed copies of my re-released business classic. To enter click on the link below.
