Rainbow Chamber Inclusivity Statement
Participation in the Rainbow Chamber fundamentally requires inclusivity. The Chamber and visitors to the Chamber have a reasonable expectation that all businesses have committed, officially, in writing, and publicly, explicitly including LGBTQ persons, and encompassing customers, employees, and business partners. Practically speaking, the Chamber will not try to dictate exact wording. And franchise owners or departmental leaders may be restricted in written statements. Chamber leadership, with LGBTQ Center oversight will make a final determination on whether any given business has the proper documentation, with reference to the guidelines below.
