RICHMOND, Va. – Owens & Minor seeks nominations for the 2022 Supplier Diversity Awards in honor of the legacy of Earl G. Reubel, entrepreneur and co-founder of Kerma, a family-owned veteran-minority owned company. The annual awards recognize people and organizations that demonstrate an active, sustained commitment to advocating for greater supplier diversity in the health care supply chain for diverse or underrepresented populations. “We’re proud to once again honor Earl by helping to shine a light on the people and organizations that are as committed as he was to fostering greater diversity across all facets of the health care supply chain, including our suppliers,” said Edward A. Pesicka, president and CEO, Owens & Minor. “As long-time partners of the Reubel family and Kerma Medical, working with them to continue expanding supplier diversity in our industry is truly an honor.” Nominations can be submitted by visiting the awards page on the Owens & Minor website. Submissions are reviewed by the awards committee, with winners chosen across three categories: Civic Leader of the Year, Diverse Enterprise of the Year and Large Corporation of the Year. The deadline for nomination submissions is Nov. 18, 2022. Winners of all three categories will be announced at the virtual Healthcare Supplier Diversity Alliance (HSDA) Annual Meeting on Dec. 8, 2022.
