The Capital Region Chamber is committed to supporting inclusive economic opportunity throughout our region. For some time, a fairness and business case have been made, showing that businesses and communities that are more diverse and inclusive are typically more innovative, have better employee engagement and experience a competitive advantage in the marketplace. By 2050, the U.S. stands to gain $8 trillion in GDP by closing the nation’s economic gaps. (W.K. Kellogg Foundation).
