MISSION:
The mission of the Business Inclusion & Opportunity Council is to advance and foster an environment for diverse business owners and professionals where they can grow productive business relationships. We do this by promoting inclusivity among ALL businesses, and by developing relationships between businesses of multi-diverse cultures and government.
FOCUS:
The Council's efforts will be in recruiting and retaining business owners, developers, investors and professionals of diverse cultures to the greater Westerville area and the Chamber. They will also increase diverse representation among the Chamber’s Board of Trustees and influence diverse representation among community boards and city/township boards and commissions.
