‘This moment in history requires a sense of urgency’

In the words of Dr. Pascal Losambe, diversity and inclusion is “an asset to be gained, and an asset to be utilized for the betterment of society.”

We’re committed to guiding our local business community to a more inclusive future. That’s why we’re a founding partner of the United Front Initiative. With keynote speeches, webinars, roundtable discussions, and more, United Front provides the expert insights and resources Allen County residents need to become more culturally aware, welcoming, and inclusive of people from all backgrounds.
