Community engagement is an effective vehicle to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion so that cities thrive and their residents flourish with opportunities to improve the quality of life for everyone. In this series, we sit down with our client partner, Latosha Herron-Bruff, Senior Vice President of Inclusion and Community Engagement, with the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce to gain insight on how to marry community and DEI well. The DRC is one of the fastest-growing chambers in the country and was voted the #1 Chamber out of 1600 chambers nationwide in 2022. DEI is one of their priorities, and we have invited Latosha to share their perspective, plans, and expertise with you.
