Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Creating equitable opportunities for all

The Chamber is committed to creating a region where everyone has the opportunity to live, learn and earn. Diverse and inclusive workforces thrive, fostering creativity, innovation and loyalty. Addressing disparities and building equitable opportunities will lift up our entire region.

We are challenged to have courageous conversations, to listen and learn, welcome differences while exploring similarities and create a sense of belonging for all, not just some. While we continue to weave diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within our organization, we are also proud to serve as a catalyst and convener for regional businesses, providing the tools, resources and information you need to drive your own DE&I initiatives.
