Studies show that organizations committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion are more innovative, more creative, and more profitable.
The KC Chamber celebrates the POWER of Diversity with this annual event honoring individuals, nonprofits, and businesses that are moving the needle on diversity efforts in the Kansas City region.
The POWER of Diversity celebration includes the ACE Awards – given to a mid-level management employee committed to diversity in the workplace and in the community. The Champion of Diversity Award is given each year to organizations that have made an impactful commitment to embracing diversity in their workplace, diversity supplier partnerships, and in the community.
Highlights of the POWER of Diversity Breakfast include the presentation of ACE Awards to up-and-coming senior level managers who are advocating for expansion of their company’s D&I and/or supplier diversity efforts. The 2024 ACE Awards went to Anna Bazan-Munguia, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kansas City; Jenn Miller, Henderson Engineers; and Kelly Hass, Kansas City National Security Campus managed by Honeywell FM&T.
Each year at the POWER of Diversity Breakfast, the KC Chamber presents the Champion of Diversity Award, recognizing a regional business that has made an impactful commitment to embrace diversity in their workplace, diversity supplier partnerships, and the community.
