UPMC addresses state of region’s minority business
Category: Business Written by Diane I. Daniels
Capacity building, mentoring, efficiency, accountability and inclusion were words and phrases often used during the Community Conversation on Supplier Diversity presented by the Center for Inclusion in Health Care and the Supply Chain Management Department at UPMC. Moderated by Lynne Hayes-Freeland, KDKA TV2 reporter, producer and host, the theme of the event was “Partnering to Make a Difference.”
Outlining a three-fold agenda, Toni Silva Jeter; director of Supplier Relations at UPMC, encouraged the audience, inclusive of Minority, Women and Disadvantaged Businesses, certification and business development agency officials and UPMC personnel, to strive to build capacity and to work together in the future. “Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to build businesses,” she said.

At what age do you want to retire?
Category: Business Written by Damon Carr
“Thank God it’s Friday!” “Oh, God it’s Monday!” These are expressions I hear quite often from working people. We all dream of the glorious day when we’ll clock out for the very last time. Imagine waking up when you’re good and ready. Imagine, vacationing when you’re good and ready. Imagine staying up to the crack of dawn just because you wanted to watch the sun rise. Imagine spending quality time with your loved ones and not being distracted by work-related proposals, deadlines, quotas, customer complaints and office politics. Have you dreamed of the life of leisure during your retirement days? At what age have you determined that you’ll hang up your working shoes?

(NNPA)—Whether you are launching a home-based sole proprietorship, partnership or expanding a corporation—beware of your legal business ownership structure’s strengths and liabilities. The ability to rapidly make competitive market decisions and raise investment money is often directly related to the legal structure of the business.
From the start consider the primary legal business structures that work best to achieve your financial goals. Research the business characteristics, asking questions of entrepreneur mentors or attorneys, always searching for the ideal solution.
