Ohio GATE has established key committees to carry out its mission. Below is a brief description of each of those committees:

• The Best Practices / Statewide Assessment Committee is charged with assessing the state of supplier diversity in among our companies, and to recommend ways that we can share best practices in order to improve our individual programs. This Committee is also charged with creating our annual reports, and providing any other statistical data that may be needed to support our work.

Nominating Committee

• The Nominating Committee has the responsibility of managing our process for electing officers for the organization.  While this committee is a “standing” committee, it is comprised of 5 persons appointed to the committee by the President. The Nominating Committee is chaired by the sitting Vice President.

The Outreach Committee is in charge of managing the external face of Ohio GATE. This includes development of all marketing materials, website development, and coordination of outreach activities, communications and presentations. This Committee is also in charge of all media-related activities.
