In June of
2002, Wayne State University and Pepsi Bottling Company of Detroit agreed
to co-chair an MMBDC Project One Team. Ms. Joan Gossman of Wayne
State and Ms. Mardi Woods of Pepsi initiated informal meetings to discuss
the composition and purpose of our Team. The team adopted the following
as its express purpose and mission:
“The
express purpose of this Project One Team is to mentor our Minority Partners;
provide referrals and networking opportunities both within and outside
of the Project One Team; and to achieve a variety of business opportunities
both within and outside of the Project One Team.”
The Corporate
members of the Team provide an interesting balance of non-manufacturing
enterprises.
In November
2002, the Minority Partners, selected by the Corporate members, attended
a kick-off meeting to establishthe format and meeting schedule; as well
as to confirm the mission and vision of Project One.
The Team has
since set a schedule
of meetings, through calendar year 2006, meeting the second Wednesday
of each month from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Room 3700 of AAB. The
agenda thus far has focused on presentations or overviews of the types
of business each member offers and round table discussion on referrals
and business opportunities. Immediate future agenda focus will be
on the “Report Card” required by MMBDC to ascertain the effectiveness of
each of the 36 Project One Teams. Each Project One Team is required to
report to MMBDC on monthly attendance figures, number of referrals or mentoring
actions, and joint venture and financial transactions. Each of these
categories carries weight and we work to achieve 100% in our total score.
