On Thursday of last week the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce, and the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia partnered to launch the Northern Virginia Champions for Accountability. The Champions event was an unveiling of the program’s research findings and included a moderated discussion of the Chief Diversity Officers who served on the task force and helped lead the project. The groundbreaking research identified a number of DEI-related tools and strategies businesses can employ to improve their workforce.
One of the program’s ongoing initiatives is a badge program that identifies Champions for DEI in the business community. 53 Northern Virginia businesses were among the first to receive their badges. The program welcomes additional companies to opt-in and share their data with the research team to earn the badge and be recognized as a Champion for Accountability.
