Senior Management's Perspective:
Kevin Mather
Executive Vice President and CFO
Seattle Mariners
"The
Seattle Mariners fully support Major
League Baseball’s Diverse Business
Partner’s Program. Our commitment
starts with top management and
continues throughout the entire
organization. Our centralized
Procurement Department is
responsible for sourcing most all of
our products and services for the
Club’s use. They actively seek
highly qualified minority- and
woman-owned businesses (MWBEs) that the club
can use. One of our most successful
suppliers is an Asian-American-owned
company, The Compleat Company, which
has worked with us for over eight
years in securing high-quality
promotional materials in a timely
manner and at competitive pricing."

DBP Program Administrator's
Perspective:
Sandy Fielder
Director of Procurement
Seattle Mariners
"As the
Administrator for the Seattle
Mariners DBP Program, and Director
of Procurement for the Seattle
Mariners, I am one of many within
the Mariners organization whose
passion is to seek out MWBEs that
can add value to our procurement
process. I, along with my
purchasing team, have selected
The
Compleat Company as our
most responsive and deserving MWBE
supplier of the 2007 season.
The
Compleat Company is an
exceptional promotional products
company. Each member of the
our procurement team has
developed successful on-going
working relationships with this
company, experiencing their
responsiveness, commitment to our
needs, high quality products and
exceptionally competitive pricing."

Seattle Mariners
Diverse Business
Partners Program
The Seattle Mariners actively
seeks opportunities to create, build and increase the
utilization of highly qualified minority- and women-owned
business enterprises (MWBEs) in meeting our procurement
needs. To achieve this end, we work closely with Major
League Baseball’s Diverse Business Partners Program, which
is administered through the Office of the Commissioner of
Baseball. We also maintain an active membership in the
Northwest Minority Business Council (NMBC), which promotes
opportunities for minority-owned companies in our area.
The primary goal of all of our
procurement activities is to create and maintain a
first-class ballpark experience for our fans. We actively
search our community for high-quality MWBEs that have the
capacity to provide the products and services needed to
retain high-levels of fan satisfaction.
As an organization, we are fully
committed to diversity and to supplier diversity. In
recent years we have conducted training classes at Safeco
Field for suppliers and corporate entities; held “Meet the
Buyer” seminars that brought together corporate entities and
minority businesses; and in 2006, we conducted the first
Hispanic Day at our ballpark, which featured local Hispanic
businesses. We regularly
participate in NMBC meetings, trade fairs and other events
that allow us to meet new minority suppliers.
Our objective is the creation of
a vibrant network of MWBEs that support our growth and help
us develop new fans. We are pleased that our efforts
to date have contributed to a supplier base that reflects
the cultural and economic diversity of our fan base and our
on-field players. We look forward to doing more.
