Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our Mission

Within the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce and the Bloomington community, we strive to be accessible and inclusive in the way we conduct ourselves as a chamber and as individual businesses. The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce celebrates the diverse backgrounds represented by our members and seeks to support everyone through awareness, advocacy, and education. Our success relies heavily on having members with unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB) is a continuous journey to providing equal opportunities and creating a safe and inclusive culture for all.
