Chamber plans programs
The Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Just Communities of Arkansas to create diversity, equity and inclusion programming as part of the chamber’s CRAFT (Community Retention and Attraction of Future Talent) Bentonville.
Programs include eight professional development opportunities for area professionals to learn from and interact with experts in the diversity, equity and inclusion field. Four sessions will offer a focus on the general business public and four will be geared toward and marketed to millennial professionals.
Sierra Polk from the chamber and Donald Wood, CEO of Just Communities of Arkansas, will facilitate the programs. The sessions will begin in the first quarter of 2019 and held throughout the year.
