D&I (Diversity & Inclusion)

Diversity & Inclusion Quincy

The mission of Diversity & Inclusion Quincy is to be a lead advocate for an inclusive culture which celebrates diversity, retention, and growth of our membership.

Diversity & Inclusion – Committee: The Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Committee serves as a subgroup within the Quincy Area Chamber of Commerce that was formed to create awareness within our community as it relates to being diverse and inclusive.  The objective of the group is for businesses and organizations to look for ways or form actionable steps to embrace D&I and to leverage the strengths of all employees within their influence.
