Seattle Chamber of Commerce

Since 1882, the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce has been Seattle’s most powerful and enthusiastic advocate for business and economic development, playing a part in nearly every major development affecting the city. It is also the largest business organization in Western Washington. Named one of the “Best Companies to Work for in Washington,” Chamber employees work collaboratively to make a difference in the region—from public policy to the arts, from education to technology, leadership, recycling and waste prevention, trade, economic development, and urban affairs—and more.

How we helped

Working with the Chamber for almost a decade, EDS has been a key player in their diversity work, including strategic planning, executive development, employee training, and other initiatives designed to serve a diverse community and membership.

 “The Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce has had a long-standing commitment to diversity. EDS helped us recognize and focus on our strengths. This lead to important insights for us as individuals and as teammates. EDS has been the catalyst for change—from recommending we establish an Employee Diversity Committee to strengthening our management team. EDS has given us tools and strategies to value and celebrate each other and the richness of our community.”
