Are you driving, interested in, or looking for champions and mentors in diverse communities? Do you have or want a diverse work force? Is your passion to support a diverse talent pool? We are making it easier for you to connect!  WE ARE BRINGING LEADERS TOGETHER TO DISCUSS WAYS THEIR ORGANIZATION ARE IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITIES: You will hear discussions and interact with leaders of leading minority organizations discussing ways to better our community for ALL. Come Hear from an esteemed Panel of Local Leaders:     -Bing Goei, Business Owner & newly appointed commissioner     -Fridah Kinani, Founder & CEO of A Glimpse of Africa     -Gillermo Cisneros, President & CEO of West Michigan Hispanic Chamber     -Jamiel Robinson, Founder & CEO of Grand Rapids Area Black Businesses Answer questions like: What does mentor and champion mean to you individually?  What is your organization doing to drive community success for your target community and how does it relate to the greater community? From your seat and community partnership where do you see the hurdles sit when it comes to making a better West Michigan?  Here from community leaders representing various organizations and segments of our community that are on the front lines leading initiatives geared towards serving their respective communities. South Kent County is the most diverse area arguably in Michigan.  Unfortunately, there are areas we could stand for more creation, reinforcement and rebuilding to experience excellence in our entire economic ecosystem.    Fortunately, we have several organizations working individually to help their community members grow economically. As part of this advisory council, you will be working with key stakeholders to uncover and target actionable items that the council uncovers as having the most impact while remaining actionable items throughout our local business communities.   Being part of this advisory council will place you at the center of discussion as we look to uncover issues and concerns for those in the BIPOC communities of Wyoming, Kentwood and surrounding south Kent County suburban areas. Wyoming and Kentwood are the largest two neighboring communities to Grand Rapid.  With a combined community of 130K residents (Population: Wyoming = 75K and Kentwood = 55K) these two communities alone represent one of the most diversely represented communities with 40%, or 52k, people of color living and ultimately working in and around our local communities. This large segment of our local community has large implications on our entire community and is an asset we have an opportunity to assist talent shortages, new business initiatives, and growth opportunities.   RSVP is required
