    Johnson & Johnsons commitment towomen-owned businesses is Tomas DirectSales, a promotional products companyin Cliton, N.J. We began selling pro-motional items to Johnson & Johnson in1998, totaling about $2 million worth obusiness that year, according to ownerNancy DAndrea. Since then, our businesshas grown tenold, and weve expanded,supplyinganatomical models and providingall kinds o marketing services. Tats be-

    cause DAndrea beneted rom a Johnson& Johnson-sponsored scholarship at theuck WBENC Executive Program thathelped her hone her management skills.

    o be successul, we have to have womenintegrated into our business and ourbrands, says Mullen. Teyre the onesbuying our products. How can we not havethem as part o our supply chain?

    DRIVING HE BUSINESS

    Avis Budget Group, the vehicle rental com-pany headquartered in Parsippany, N.J.,has a unique vantage point when it comesto the power o women business owners. At

    Avis and/ or Budget car rental outlets, lo-cated at all o the countrys biggest airports,the company rents thousands o carsevery day to women who are traveling onbusiness. When we bring women in assuppliers, we are not only helping to buildup their businesses and strengthen the localeconomies where they operate, but we alsoget valuable inormation about our custom-ers, says Lynn Boccio, v ice president ostrategic business and diversity relations or

    the company. Ater all, we want womento keep renting our cars. For instance,through working with one o the compa-nys women-owned suppliers, Avis Budgetlearned how to adjust counter heights andautomobile eatures or disabled customers.Over the past year, Boccio says the moneyit spends with womenowned suppliers hasincreased by 17%.

    Like many o the companies we spokewith, Avis Budget has standard needsacross the organization (oce supplies,promotional materials) as well as regionalneeds at the airport locations in which itoperates. Airports are like little cities, saysBoccio. Avis Budgets WBEs provide these

    locations with everything rom car batteriesand uel to janitorial services and displays.Expansion to other airport outlets is alwaysthe goal. I we have a woman supplierdoing a good job with us in Orlando, wellask her to try ampa, as well, explainsBoccio. We want these women-ownedsuppliers to succeed.

    DRIVING HE ECONOMY

    Te economic clout that women haveand

    the depth o knowledge they bring to thecompanies with which they do businessisvital to the success o corporate America.Yet with all the progress women suppliers

    have made over the past several decades,there are those who say it hasnt gone nearlyar enough. Momentum has carried us ar,but not all major companies are addressingthis issue as seriously as they should, saysLinda Drake o CIM. Despite the actthat 60% o FORUNE 1000 companies

    spend more than $1 billion each withoutside suppliers each year, women-ownedbusinesses accounted or only 4% o thismarket share in 2003 (the most recentgures available), according to the Centeror Womens Business Resea rch.

    Still, the number o women-owned com-paniesand the inuence they have in andon the worlds biggest corporationswillonly continue to grow, say the experts. Andor good reason: Te wealth o talent, cre-ativity, and knowledge they bring are assetsno company, big or small, can aford to bewithout.

    and run by women. Johnson & Johnson,based in New Brunswick, N.J.the $53billion global purveyor o health-careproducts and a proven leader in oferingopportunities to women business suppli-ers urges these companies to go throughthe process to become WBENC certied.Tere are millions o women-ownedbusinesses out there, says Ann Mullen,director o supplier diversity or Johnson& Johnson. Being certied by WBENC

    tells us that not only is the businessowned by a woman or women, but that itis run and controlled by a woman as well.Mullen says that Johnson & Johnsonstop 50 women-owned suppliers are all cer-tied by WBENC, and account or morethan hal o its spending with women-owned businesses.With 30 major operating companies

    within the Johnson & Johnson amily ocompanies, Mullen realized early on thatmaintaining a clear, consistent program tobring women-owned suppliers into the mixcould be a challenge. So over the past eightyears the company has created a cadre o 30Johnson & Johnson supplier diversity team

    membersone at each o the operatingcompanieswho are responsible or bring-ing women suppliers into their part o thebusiness. Once the companies are in thesupply chain, Johnson & Johnson supportsselected women-owned companies withscholarships to attend the uck-WBENCExecutive Program taught by DartmouthCollege management proessors, as well asby providing internal training and personalcoaching.

    Our commitment to diversity gives us all a chance to grow.

    our own idea, for the simple reason that it made good business sense and it was the right thing to do. At Bank of America, our commitment

    to helping minority-, woman-, veteran- and disabled person-owned businesses prosper is stronger than ever. Visit our Web site at
