Earlier this month, we celebrated communities of belonging at our POWER of Diversity Breakfast. If you weren't able to attend, please join us now in honoring H&R Block as the 2024 Champion of Diversity. The KC Chamber Champion of Diversity is a business or nonprofit organization that can demonstrate adherence to practices which support the business case for workforce diversity as a strategic initiative by ensuring the diversification of staff, suppliers, and community outreach is a normal part of their organizational practice, policy, and culture. Congratulations to H&R Block for fostering environments of belonging where everyone is welcome to be their authentic self.

In front of a sold-out crowd last Friday, the Power of Diversity Breakfast recommitted to initiatives that create and sustain environments of belonging for all Kansas Citians. Considering the challenges and opportunities of inclusion efforts, approximately 900 guests – a record-breaking attendance milestone – heard about the importance of representation and including all voices at the table where decisions are being made. Thank you to all who attended and support efforts to build a welcoming, inclusive regional community. View a photo album of images from the event on our Facebook page at: https://lnkd.in/gtG35TDk.

When you have smart, talented interns like the KC Chamber does, you ask them to put their problem-solving skills to work! As the KC Chamber begins the task of updating our website, we asked our current group of young professionals to help develop a comprehensive rollout plan. Yesterday, they presented their ideas to staff members, and we are thrilled with their insightful recommendations. Wherever this group goes after their internship, they are sure to find success.
