Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee
The Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce recognizes that full potential is realized when diversity and inclusion is the standard to strengthen and impact our community. It is our goal to build a source of resources that highlight and showcase the wealth of industry covered by minority and women owned businesses. We strive to identify opportunities that ensure equity through commerce and promote engagement that build these businesses throughout the region. We understand that this will take continued internal and external work to achieve these goals as well as a strategy to keep us focused and accountable.

Recognizing we are after optimal impact; some programs and initiatives are designed to target specific demographic groups. Those decisions are based on need, volume and the Chamber’s ability to make the biggest impact essential to create a thriving, vibrant community.
