Business leaders gathered at a Georgia Chamber of Commerce summit to discuss efforts to bring more diversity to the workplace.

The summit featured a series of panels and fireside chats about the importance of diversity at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park.

Chris Clark, the president and CEO of the Chamber, said Georgia business leaders are looking at ways to expand diversity, equity and inclusion programs as workforce retention issues and likely policy changes loom over the business community.
