On behalf of myself, the Chamber Board and our team, my heart goes out to those of you affected by this virus some more deeply than others. I know from speaking with you that some of you have lost loved ones and are experiencing financial difficulties.
Please know that the Chamber team and volunteer leaders are striving daily and working hard on your behalf during this challenging time to connect you with each other and the resources you need to succeed. Here at the Chamber we connect, convene, facilitate, educate, and advocate for your business and continue our valuable programming including holding committees and putting on educational seminars for your benefit. We are fulfilling our mission virtually! And if you have not been involved we invite you to join us on this journey. The Morris County Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt sympathy to the family of George Floyd and the black community. We condemn discrimination and injustice in all its forms. With this crisis there is an opportunity to make our communities and businesses even stronger by listening to each other and striving to serve each other better. We recall President Lincoln’s timeless words that all are created equal in this nation that was conceived in liberty. These aspirations are realized through our character and our actions, as individuals and as a community organization.
As a voice of the business community and convener, the Morris Chamber recognizes that we must be intentional about seeking the input and engagement of diverse groups throughout the county, creating a welcoming environment for members regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or ability. As a member of the national Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, the Morris Chamber is in regular communication with chambers across the country about ways business associations can address racial bias. We look forward to the ACCE Diversity, Equity and Inclusion division’s release of best practices for the workforce, workplace and marketplace. |
