Diversity

We know the business community, and the Chamber, can do a better job creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for our diverse community members. Our hope is that, in awareness and growth, we can improve and set a positive example.

We want more diverse business leaders in Richardson. And it’s the right thing to do.

Richardson is the International Business Capital of Texas, as designated by the Texas Legislature. We welcome those from other countries with open arms.

We want to assure our Asian citizens and businesses how much we appreciate your contributions to our Richardson community. We also celebrate our Muslim community, who too often has been maligned with stereotypes of radicals when in fact they are peaceful and family oriented.

Prejudice based on color, gender, age, sexual orientation, nationality, special needs, social standing and religion is something we must fight daily, starting within ourselves.

We encourage you to talk about race. Encourage your employees to talk about race. Share stories and life experiences. This topic needs air to understand and cleanse.  Create safe places for sharing.
