Phoenix, AZ - The Women’s Business Enterprise Council-West (WBEC-West) today announced that its 22nd Annual Procurement & Awards Conference, originally scheduled for October 7–9, 2025, will now take place December 16–18, 2025.
The change in schedule reflects WBEC-West’s deep respect for the legacy of Pamela Prince-Eason, President & CEO of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), whose Celebration of Life will be held in October. Pamela’s decades-long commitment to advancing women-owned businesses has left a profound impact on the WBENC network and the supplier diversity community nationwide.
“Pamela was more than a leader—she was a mentor, a trailblazer, and a fierce advocate for women entrepreneurs,” said Dr. Pamela Williamson, President & CEO of WBEC-West. “Rescheduling our conference allows our community the time and space to honor her remarkable life and lasting contributions.”
The 22nd Annual Procurement & Awards Conference will bring together women business owners (WBEs), corporate procurement professionals, supplier diversity leaders, and government representatives for three days of high-impact networking, educational sessions, business matchmaking, and recognition of outstanding WBEs and corporate partners.
