Procurement and Payment Services Hosts Local Suppliers
December 4, 2018
Procurement and Payment Services hosted a series of Meet and Greet sessions with local businesses seeking opportunities to partner with our new food service provider, Compass Group. Over 25 businesses from the Evanston and Chicago area met with Compass and Northwestern to introduce their businesses and discuss partnership ideas. Along with the great Compass brands, you will soon find other recognizable local brands on campus.
Northwestern and Compass are working collaboratively to boost economic viability of food service companies in the Evanston and Chicago region. The partnership agreement between Compass and Northwestern outlines our commitment to jointly work on efforts to help small businesses and report progress towards goals annually. The local Meet and Greet Series is one step towards that goal. The objective is to host Local “Meet and Greet” events quarterly to promote the involvement of small business on Northwestern’s campus.
