50% of small businesses operate from home, and they impressively provide 75% of new jobs to the United States. This month, the Chandler Chamber celebrates their accomplishments by observing National Small Business Week from April 28 to May 4. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, sole proprietorships: No matter what you make or who you serve, we are proud of your contributions to our East Valley community. Support a small business this week and start a resolution of giving back to Chandler businesses all year long.
The Chandler Chamber is partnering with Chandler City Lifestyle Magazine to recognize the 2024 Women of Chandler. Award winners will answer questions about their career journeys and share insights into community leadership. Registration is open for this Tuesday, May 21 event.
Later in the month, our Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging Committee is hosting a free roundtable discussion with Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) leaders. Their invaluable insight will help you improve your workplace by (1) recognizing and overcoming AAPI stereotypes, (2) celebrating local AAPI community members, and (3) sharing a crash course on intercultural communication.
I am also pleased to announce that our 37th Annual Chandler Chamber Community Awards will be on Thursday, May 30, and tickets are on sale now! This is one of my favorite events of the year as our Chamber recognizes businesses and individuals for their outstanding contributions to the Chandler community. Here, the Chandler Chamber Community Foundation will also be awarding scholarships to Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Come for an evening of food, fun and celebration of our community’s accomplishments.
