We're excited to announce that Michael M. Clay, Chief of Procurement at Embrace Partners, will be a featured speaker at the 2026 ACCA National Training Institute.
Featured Session
Unlocking New Spend: Integrating Insurance, Bonding, and Capacity Building into MWBE Goals
As organizations work to expand opportunities for Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs), success depends on more than setting procurement goals. Long-term growth requires the right infrastructure, access to capital, and the ability to meet project requirements with confidence.
During this session, Michael will share practical strategies for integrating insurance, bonding, and capacity-building into supplier diversity initiatives. Attendees will learn how these critical resources can strengthen procurement programs, increase supplier readiness, and help diverse businesses compete for larger opportunities.
This session is ideal for procurement professionals, contractors, supplier diversity leaders, and MWBE business owners looking to build stronger partnerships and create lasting economic impact.
At Embrace Partners, we believe that access drives opportunity. By combining insurance, bonding, and capital access with strategic capacity building, organizations can create stronger supplier ecosystems and help businesses grow with confidence.
If you're attending the 2026 ACCA National Training Institute, be sure to add Michael's session to your agenda. We look forward to connecting with you and continuing the conversation on building more resilient and inclusive procurement programs.
