The Chamber Leadership Diversity Program is an immersive executive development program that provides chamber of commerce professionals with education and networks to advance their careers, contribute to the future of the industry and create meaningful change in their communities.

“Robert Heidt brings the power of diversity and inclusion to the Glendale Chamber, its members, and the Glendale Business Community,” Kate Kochenderfer, board chair of the Glendale Chamber and Director of Supply Chain, Transportation and Flight Services for Salt River Project, stated in a news release. “His participation in the ACCE Leadership Diversity Program will not only strengthen his focus on Diversity and Inclusion, but help to create an environment of respect, involvement, and connection within our Glendale community and the Arizona Chambers of Commerce Community.”

Over the course of the three-year program, participants will engage in a range of professional development opportunities designed to equip them with knowledge of best practices in chamber leadership, a strong peer network and national connections to advance their work.

Leaders selected to participate in the Chamber Leadership Diversity Program represent a variety of chamber roles and communities across the country.
