Arvada Chamber Inclusion Survey The Arvada Chamber understands that fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion of people from different backgrounds and perspectives is essential for our local economy to thrive. Recent Gartner research reveals that "differences of age, ethnicity, gender and other dimensions foster high performance." Teams with diverse thinkers are shown to drive success through innovation, talent retention, and market expansion. This survey will help the Chamber’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging KAPS Council assess our business community’s strengths, weaknesses and opportunities around inclusion practices. We estimate the survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. If you have questions about DEI+B purpose or terminology, please view an FAQ document at arvadachamber.org/DEIB-FAQs.
