Description

Across the entirety of the United States Government, there is no priority more imperative than that of providing the highest-quality care to our nation’s Veterans with the world-class benefits and services they have rightfully earned.

This ever-important and rapidly evolving mission set of the US Department of Veterans Affairs has experienced numerous changes and updates over the past year as a result of transformative change across healthcare and healthcare delivery the likes of which the world has never seen.

In order to better understand the US Department of Veteran Affairs’ priorities and emerging initiatives meeting this newfound healthcare environment, IDGA is pleased to host our 14th iteration of our VA Healthcare Summit Series. Assisting in the Department’s acceleration and modernization efforts has long since been one of IDGA’s most crucial goals, one we are pleased to again provide for the benefit of the US Veterans, their families, caregivers, survivors, the community’s the VA serves, and the Nation at large.

IDGA's Veterans Healthcare Summit is now in its 14th year, and is an industry-wide staple for those supporting the VA’s evolving mission set. Our partners across the Military, Government, Private Healthcare, academia and consultant communities have consistently made this event a marquee gathering for those senior stakeholders.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
