"Diversity Challenges in the Global Supply Chain" will discuss the challenges of
finding and working with diverse suppliers on a global basis. Ms. Elliott will
address why it is important for automotive businesses to approach supplier
diversity initiatives from a strategic development perspective, versus a
sourcing-only standpoint.

directive from our OEM customers," Ms. Elliott said. "It is essential that we
work to address this issue together, and at every level of our organizations."
"The China Experience: Value Chain Costing" will address the unique aspects of
doing business in China, including total costing, product design and
development, and supply-chain value. Mr. Melgar will provide firsthand
experiences of the challenges a Tier 1 supplier faces while working to establish
and maintain a supply chain in China.
"With the continued expansion of the automotive industry in China, it is
imperative for any organization to understand the Chinese business environment
before investing significant time and resources," said Melgar. "Building
relationships is a core competency of Dana, and it has been successful in
creating working relationships and new opportunities with many Chinese
automotive businesses by taking the necessary steps to operate at a global
level."
"High Performance Cars - A Passion for Performance: The Impact of Race
Development on Production Vehicles" will address the influence high-performance
vehicles are having on the market and the way passenger vehicles are being
