Ray Daniels and Greg Harbut have formed an organization, the Ed Brown Society, to promote and educate African American participation in a sport where they were once the majority.

Maybe it could move a fan from the grandstands to a buyer to an owner in the winner’s circle. “You gotta take young folks out to horse farms so they can see it for themselves and actually get hands-on and expertise about the work that goes on at a horse farm,” Daniels said. “We hope to expose them to it and let them know that these are really well-paid jobs.”

"We engaged ESG to help us develop and implement the supply management strategy for our organization. ESG did an excellent job walking us through the process of understanding the current state of our organization and the effort required to reach our long-term objectives. They were instrumental in creating an effective strategy for managing our third party expenditures in a cost effective manner during a very tumultuous time for our bank. Their end product has positioned us to reduce operating expenses, improve supplier performance and manage our supplier relationships with confidence."

"ESG's supplier qualification process was an opportunity for me to take our company to another level… asking that I look at our company in a way that I never had. It allowed me to see us in a more professional light than I had before. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for all of the work you are doing on our behalf. It is needed and greatly appreciated."

“ESG was able to deliver quantifiable results which had a positive impact to our bottom line while consolidating our supplier base and increasing our spend with diverse suppliers."

“ESG provides an automated system that gives us corporate-level control of our supply chain, as well as a way to reach minority suppliers. ESG identified savings in excess of $3 million (over $22,000 for each of our locations), improved service, and helped us further demonstrate our inclusion commitment.”

“With the assistance of ESG, our organization's enhanced Supplier Diversity Initiative is an ideal way for us to express our support for the diverse businesses in our community, demonstrate best-in-class supplier diversity for educational institutions in Kentucky, and allow these businesses to learn more about what our campuses have to offer.”
