We have been there for you this year, and we will continue to be there for you in 2021 and beyond as we recover from this pandemic," stated Bryan K. Stephens, President and CEO of the Hampton Roads Chamber.

"This is not partisan work, this is non-partisan work. You need a strategic plan to approach oppression," said keynote speaker Dr. Janice Underwood, Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, Commonwealth of Virginia.
