It works to create diversity, equity and inclusion in the corporate community. The vision is a Chicago region that is the most inclusive business ecosystem in the country.Tiffany Hamel Johnson, the president and CEO of Chicago United, said minority businesses were "decimated" in 2020. And most of those who lost their jobs, were people of color. Now in late 2022, she said the employment numbers are building "back up" though complete recovery will take some time.
"You can't have a pipeline and have people of color get on boards and in C-suites if you're not creating it from the entry level position." she said. "Corporate Inclusion Institute was created just to help that leader. Along with that we created the Emerging Leader Series this year along with a mid-level manager series that really help those, again, emerging leaders that are coming out, that need help with advancement and professional development.
Chicago United is holding its Bridge Awards Celebration on Nov. 16. The theme this year is the power of inclusion. "We believe that coalitions and that the representation of everyone at the table. There's power in that," said Johnson. "No one left behind. There's enough for all of us."
Maybe stop creating division but calling out black owned businesses
Racist propaganda, because February just isn't enough anymore and June has been hijacked by the homosexuals...😮
They could have started by voting out all of the ppl who continued the lockdowns, masking, and Vax mandates that destroyed those businesses.....
Start with clamping down on crime instead of the police? Make entrepreneurs instead of felons a favored class? Just a thought.
