Georgia business leaders say DE&I efforts are making progress but there’s still a way to go

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit in Atlanta, featuring panel discussions on creating inclusive workplace environments for people with disabilities, advancing anti-racist policies and practices and strategies for creating a successful multigenerational workforce.

Chris Clark, the Chamber’s president and CEO, notes that people are more aware of the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within the state’s business community.

“What we’re seeing is more and more companies are looking at DE&I as a part of the solution to deal with the workforce shortage,” said Clark.
