WHAT IS THE DEI COLLABORATIVE?

​The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Collaborative, an initiative of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, is a result of the growth and success of The Chamber’s Diversity Councils. The mission of The Collaborative is one of empathy-building and intersectionality with the goal of driving change toward greater diversity, equity and inclusion in the Lehigh Valley.  The individual Diversity Councils will continue to operate with their existing board and committee structure in delivering on their respective missions.
​
An important goal of The DEI Collaborative is to support, celebrate and enhance the work of the individual councils, and collaborate on some initiatives that benefit all councils. A concerted fundraising effort is also underway by Chamber staff to support the work of The DEI Collaborative which will alleviate some of the budgetary responsibilities of the individual councils and free up time to focus on mission and community engagement. The Collaborative will be comprised of 3 representatives from each of our councils.

In addition to council representation, The Collaborative will benefit from at-large members representing DEI partners and champions in the Lehigh Valley.  The Collaborative will be championed by a member of The Chamber’s executive committee and will have representation on The Chamber’s Board of Governors. The group will meet regularly (5 times a year:  September, November, January, March, May) and will identify and execute collaborative initiatives and events that are committed to the ideals of DEI.
