Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Announces the We Are Lincoln Pledge 

With an open invitation for business leaders in Lincoln to participate, the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce (lcoc.com) announces the launch of the We Are Lincoln Pledge. The inclusion and equity pledge, which emphasizes action and accountability, invites Lincoln business leaders to pledge their commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces that demand fair treatment, resources, opportunities, and advancement for all. 

“As business leaders, it is our responsibility to take action and use our influential voices to initiate transformative change in our workplaces and community,” said Wendy Birdsall, president of the Lincoln Chamber. 

While the pledge is only the first step, it is a step in the right direction, according to Birdsall. By joining the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce in The Pledge, business leaders are committing to being part of the solution and embracing their vital role as leaders, listeners, educators, advocates, and change-makers within both their place of business and the Lincoln community. 

“There are countless opportunities for businesses to implement actionable policies and practices reflective of the changes we seek,” adds Birdsall. “I invite all business leaders to join me in this pledge and commit to removing the systemic barriers that prevent all employees from feeling equally respected, supported, and valued.”
