Help with Heroin Project & Resources


The Chamber supports the "Heroin Steals the Future – There is Help Campaign" and is here to provide access to resources for members, families, and the community.
Most heroin addicts are people with jobs--accountants, lawyers, construction workers, nurses, and secretaries. In other words, they are people who go to work every day. Businesses need to be educated about what can be done for those who may be an addict. The Chamber, by working together with the Heroin alliance, can strategize and develop resources for our members and the business community. 
 

The Business Builder Summit Lunch Series Kicks off in February

Thursday, February 23rd 11am-1pm



Here is the list of topics and dates for the 2017 Business Builder Summit:

February 23- Diversity & Inclusion
April 20- Entrepreneur Toolkit
June 22- Education & Talent Acquisition  
August 24- HR


The Diversity & Inclusion Summit features interactive and dynamic opening and lunch keynote panel speakers including, Jay Black, Director of the Minority Business Development Center, Jeffrey Johnson, Chief, State of Ohio Minority Business Development Division, Susan Graalman, Vocation Manager, Cherry Street Missions, Evelyn McKinney, Community Impact, United Way of Greater Toledo, David Abalos, Past President, Northwest Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
 
The Chamber's goal is to foster meaningful discussions on diversity and inclusivity, as a priority in business and community. Courageous conversations to feed our fundamental need to belong; from our place of business to our place of residence.
 
Diversity and inclusion is an issue which has evolved significantly in the past few years, from an emphasis on racial diversity to an emphasis on diversity of ideas and experiences. Most major companies have diversity and inclusion programs, although these often vary in scope and can focus on different things.
 
Some examples of diversity and inclusion initiatives which are fairly representative of the field include:
                • Targeting new hiring to reflect the customer demographics (especially in international markets, this could include age, origin, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation)
                • Hiring someone who comes from poverty with varied economic backgrounds with potential challenges that the employers need to consider
                • Promoting company resource groups based on age, origin, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation
                • Encouraging employees to put forth their ideas for new products to be considered by upper management
