DLC recently hosted a networking event, bringing together key players from the utility sector alongside more than 40 utility contractors, including 30 diverse suppliers. Curated by Darcie Orr, senior manager of procurement excellence, the event bolstered collaboration and growth opportunities within Pittsburgh's business community with Utility Overview Sessions led by local industry leaders like Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Peoples Natural Gas, FirstEnergy, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, and DLC. A highlight of the event was the roundtable networking session, facilitating direct interactions between diverse suppliers and utilities. Kendra Sakoian, DLC's chief procurement Officer, emphasized in her closing remarks our dedication to supporting local economic development through inclusive practices. This format allowed for meaningful connections and potential partnerships to blossom, reflecting our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive business environment.
