Truist is sponsoring its annual Tier 2 Conference virtually this year on September 28th and 29th. In years past, SunTrust hosted this event in person to provide diverse suppliers with information, education, and opportunities to advance their businesses. We’re applying the same theme this year for the virtual conference and intend to have panel discussions, breakout sessions, and matchmaking meetings to encourage business procurement connections. Some of the featured speakers include: the President/CEO of the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council, President/CEO of the US Black Chamber, Truist CEO Kelly King, Truist COO Bill Rogers and Truist Chief Supplier Diversity Officer and more.

"In the end, Anthony Overton’s life represents an intriguing case study of the power of the human spirit. Despite his setbacks, disappointments, and human frailties, Overton’s accomplishments as an entrepreneur have seemingly stood the test of time.

In this context, he may, perhaps, inspire a new generation of community-minded African American entrepreneurs in Chicago and elsewhere."
