As the Diversity & Ethnic Chamber Alliance (DECA) works hard to develop practical solutions to some of Austin’s economic challenges, minority-owned businesses and thought leaders from the community came together to provide valuable insights.
The focus group sessions were facilitated by Jon Hockenyos from TXP, and zeroed in on four key industries critical to the region's development, growth, and services. Top concerns were highlighted and case studies discussed, as each group talked through topics such as better procurement processes and accessible workforce solutions. The findings and recommendations will be included in the DECA Regional Economic Equity Development (REED) Plan.
A big thank you to all those who participated! If you are interested in supporting the REED Plan and a DECA partner, please connect with us and share your story.
DECA is a first-of-its-kind collaboration designed to promote economic success among Austin’s diverse communities. It includes the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce, The Greater Austin Black Chamber of Commerce, Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce.
