POWER of Diversity Breakfast 2018

The KC Chamber's POWER of Diversity Breakfast is the region's premier celebration of the metro area's culturally diverse business community, recognizing diverse workforce members and corporations and organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The KC Chamber will present ACE Awards to mid-to-senior level diverse managers who are having a positive impact on their company’s profitability and increasing their diversity efforts in the workplace. A Supplier Diversity ACE Award will go to a mid-to-senior level diverse manager who is accomplishing dramatic growth in increasing supplier diversity.

Our keynote speaker this year is Glenn Harris, president of the new Race Forward, the union of Race Forward and Center for Social Inclusion, and publisher of Colorlines. Read more about Glenn Harris >>
