It was a year of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, great 2020 turmoil, and divisiveness, and a year that ripped at our souls over the civil unrest that erupted on multiple occasions. The pain of our nation’s failures to come to grips with social justice was felt throughout our communities and within all of our organizations. If there is good news to come out of the past 12 months, it has been in a renewed commitment to elevating the cause of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). This month’s Focus cover story features several organizations that have TIM DAMAN been among the leaders in DE&I for many years, in some cases, for decades. President and CEO We wanted to highlight the great work that is already being done and Lansing Regional showcase some of the best practices and challenges involved in building a Chamber of Commerce DE&I culture. As leaders, all of us need to be Not surprisingly, organizations that have established DE&I initiatives willing to be vulnerable and have utilized the past year’s civil unrest to strengthen their commitment face our shortcomings in the further. Leaders at the highest levels of these organizations conducted town hall meetings and listening tours where they heard first-hand the DE&I makes our organizations concerns that their team members feel about social injustice and how it impacts their everyday lives.

On March 16, 2020, I issued an emergency order closing all City buildings to the public and sending a large portion of our workforce to work from home due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. We were faced with the same questions as the rest of the country: how to run a city while protecting our employees and our residents? City of Lansing employees showed up and continue to serve residents with integrity and professionalism. Our essential workers, the backbone of our City, washed their hands, masked up and went to work. Our police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s responded to tens of thousands of calls for service to aid our residents and keep them safe. Our Public Service staff completed more than 14 miles of road improvements, more than 1,200 tree trimming/removals and cleaned more than 66 miles of storm and sanitary sewer pipes. Ingham County Parks Millage funded work continued to maintain and improve the Lansing River Trail by resolving riverbank erosion near Moores Park that included fortifying the riverbank and repairing fencing.

Nowhere does this become more apparent than in education. Closing and reopening schools touches all our lives, whether we have children in K-12, higher education, or work in the education arena. The issue of reopening our schools is also an important economic and workforce development issue. As we continue to reopen our economy, parents in the workforce will continue to grapple with balancing working, whether from an office or home, with the need to keep being engaged in their children’s learning in many cases from an online platform. Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chamber assembled a group of community and business leaders to provide leadership in helping to reopen our regional economy safely. Those involved in the early stages of RELAUNCH Greater Lansing Task Force immediately recognized the importance of having leading educators in both K-12 and higher education represented on TIM DAMAN the task force. President and CEO Lansing Regional The Lansing Regional Chamber is proud to have played a leadership role during COVID-19, not only in the RELAUNCH Chamber of Commerce Greater Lansing task force but actively communicating the latest information about COVID-19, something we found changed daily.
