Inclusion
Our Goal
Inclusion
Challenges
The Arvada Chamber needs to develop and maintain an inclusive internal structure and strategy.
In order to lead by example and support business leaders, the Arvada Chamber must commit to an intentional and strategic approach to fostering an inclusive environment that is representative of the businesses and community it serves.
Inadequate business resources for DEI+B best practices.
Arvada-area businesses lack DEI+B best practices around hiring, onboarding, and retention, as well as the research, training, data analysis, and communication to support those strategies.
