U.S. Chamber Hosts National Summit on Equality of Opportunity
On Thursday, June 25, 2020, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other leaders across the private and public sectors, will host the National Summit on Equality of Opportunity; a historic event to discuss some of the underlying challenges driving inequality of opportunity in four critical areas: education, employment, entrepreneurship, and the criminal justice system.
This event kicks off the Equality of Opportunity Initiative, through which the U.S. Chamber has partnered with more than 500 other chambers and associations to pursue policy and private sector solutions to bridge underlying racial divides that contribute to broader, systemic inequalities in our society.
