The Arvada Chamber’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion + Belonging KAPS Council is hosting two focus groups on December 13 at 9:00 am and 10:00 am to learn how we can best support underrepresented start-ups and small business growth in Arvada. We are looking for business owners and entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups to provide feedback as part of an interactive focus group session with members of our Council. The Arvada Chamber is dedicated to ensuring current and future programs and resources to support entrepreneurship are intentionally equitable.
