E1 Back to Business: The Value of DEI Programs

The Grand Rapids Chamber is relaunching its podcast and it’s time to get “Back to Business”!

In the first episode of the Back to Business podcast, we had a chance to sit down with our Inclusion Program Manager, Emily Smith and our former Director of Inclusion, Ken James to discuss the value of DEI programming for employers. We also discuss the Chamber’s long history of DEI programming and its commitment to all members of our community.
