Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce Joins National Initiative to Address Inequality of Opportunity

6/4/2020

The Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce announced it is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on a national initiative to address inequality of opportunity.

The Winter Haven Chamber will join the U.S. Chamber’s national townhall event on June 25 where business and community leaders will discuss concrete actions that can be taken by government and the private sector to address inequality through education, employment, entrepreneurship, and criminal justice reform. As a partner on this important initiative, the Winter Haven Chamber will host local and industry dialogues to further the discussion.

“The much overdue national awakening to the inequality of opportunity in this country reminds us that there is still so much work to do. The Winter Haven Chamber is committed to the success and opportunity of all of our community’s residents and business owners. We look forward to working with our local elected officials, community groups, faith leaders and many more individuals to develop programming and initiatives that ignite positive change," said Chamber President/CEO Katie Worthington Decker.

“The moral case for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace is indisputable, and there’s overwhelming evidence that greater diversity benefits the American economy, businesses, communities and employees,” said U.S. Chamber President Suzanne Clark. “We are proud to partner with the Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce on this initiative and help develop a robust plan of action.”

The work of this national initiative will build on the work already undertaken by the Winter Haven Chamber to advance commerce and community for all residents of the greater Winter Haven area.
