Virtual Chamber Luncheon - June 2021

Description

Chamber Luncheon is your opportunity to grow both your network and business knowledge. Please join us for a virtual event that offers opportunities to connect with local and regional members, and up-to-date information on all things on business and community. 

During this month’s luncheon we’ll be joined by Kenneth James, Director of Inclusion at the Grand Rapids Chamber to discuss Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the workplace. With nearly three decades of experience spanning a multitude of industries including non-profit, health care, and higher education, Ken is driven by his passion to initiate cross-cultural dialogue and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. As Director of Inclusion for the Grand Rapids Chamber, he combines his knowledge and lived experiences to deliver creative, intentional programs to employers and their stakeholders. Ken is an alumnus of Kentucky State University and Grand Valley State University, from which he holds a master’s in public administration. Most recently, he earned Executive Certification in Diversity Coaching through the CoachDiversity Institute in partnership with Howard University School of Business and is recognized as an Associate Diversity Coach (ADC). 
 
Chamber Luncheon will remain virtual for now to ensure the health and safety of our attendees, therefore registration will look a little different. That said, our goal is to make this a simple and seamless process for you and your team. The day before the event, you will receive a separate email communication from our Events Manager with additional details on accessing Hopin, our virtual platform.  

Features of our new virtual platform include:

• Live, online events that are interactive & personal
• Networking one-on-one over live video
• Connecting & exchanging virtual business cards for later follow-up
• Watching keynote presentations, sending chat messages, filling out polls, exploring expo area
