The Perspective: december 2019

12/4/2019

 

A Local Resource to Area Businesses

The Chamber's Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Task Force is comprised of approximately 30 representatives with a passion for sharing information and learning best practices about diversity, inclusion and minority business development to improve our workforce.

Goal Statement from the Chamber Business Plan:
  • Leverage members’ combined experience and knowledge to advance diversity and inclusion programs and practices throughout professions.
  • Provide business members with access to information, individuals and ideas that will help them build more economically and socially inclusive organizations.
  • Become a forum to discuss new diversity and inclusion ideas and initiatives.
In mid-2019 the D&I Taskforce worked diligently to survey the almost 1200 members of the Eau Claire Area Chamber as a means to gather information on knowledge and interest in the areas of Diversity and Inclusion. Published below are the results of 217 responses from area businesses interested in learning more.
