\r\n Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a business imperative that enhances innovation, expands market reach, and attracts top talent from various backgrounds. Diverse and inclusive businesses have a competitive advantage in today’s business climate while also contributing more meaningfully to the communities they serve.<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

As an organization, the Chamber took this charge to leverage its position as a convener of business to ensure pervasive and long-term change both societally and economically. This ongoing work is rooted in a reflective focus on accountability internally as an organization and externally through a commitment to ensuring the Region\u2019s equitable future.<\/p>\n

The Chamber carries out its DEI duties by committing to internal improvements, supporting others, expanding programs and communications, and developing, leading, and creating new data and research for its professional development and advocacy initiatives. Together, these commitments are intended to help lead to racial justice and economic equity within the Chamber and throughout the Detroit Region.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n
