Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Resources

At the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, we have been on an intentional journey to assess how our organization can champion diversity, equity, and inclusion as values for the Anchorage business community and city at-large. On this page, we’ve curated resources that we have found helpful in this work for ourselves as individuals, for our organization, and for our membership.

We hope the following resources will offer inspiration and guidance about how to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion as fundamental values – and how to make sure these values are reflected in the operations and activities of your business.

How Employers can Support the LGBTQ+ Community

  • Give staff time and encourage staff to do anti-racism and anti-oppression workshops
  • Encourage and support staff to serve as board members on nonprofits and/or volunteer for causes that promote social justice and equity (ie, allowing them to do some volunteer work while "on the clock" as part of a commitment to the community)
  • Advertise with companies that support equality and justice
  • Offer comprehensive health insurance to all employees
  • Pay a fair wage to all employees

The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and our network of Chambers across the country recognize the importance of a diverse community, workforce, and workplace.
