To reach our goal of inclusion, the Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce has built strong relationships with a variety of organizations who embrase diversity inclusion efforts in our community. Here are a few of the organizations we partner with:

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMITTEE

The Diversity and Inclusion Council promotes diversity and inclusion in the business community through education, outreach, networking, mentoring, and recognition programs that engage the entire community and support business leaders. The purpose is to encourage business to business networking, improving the business climate and making the community prosperous, economically attractive and a desirable place to work, live, and buy local.  The intention is to transform the diverse business community into environments where all businesses are valued for their uniqueness and differences, and are confident that their contributions matter.

                               
We know that the best ideas, the best solutions, happen when people bring their uniqueness to work with them. Inclusion is an integral part of how we leverage that uniqueness into our company and the community we serve. That’s why we foster a culture of belonging at the Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce.
