Developing policies, practices, and processes that increase diverse and equitable business participation in the economic development of the Commonwealth was front and center this past week at The Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts 29th Annual Conference: Toward a Fair & Equitable Massachusetts Economy: Practical Steps for a Diverse & Inclusive Entrepreneurial Community.

The room was full of dedicated and passionate business and community leaders representing nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies who are working every day to build a sustainable and just economy in Massachusetts.  Of special focus this year: mobilizing community assets to drive awareness & inclusion, enhance collaboration, and match capabilities of ready, willing, and able diverse businesses with relevant and timely public sector opportunities.
