CBC IDEA COMMITTEE
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Chicago Building Congress (CBC) Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee is to promote equal opportunity and participation for all members of the Chicagoland construction industry. The CBC recognizes that one of the Chicagoland construction industry’s greatest strengths is the diversity of its people. The CBC believes that fostering an environment that is inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible will help contribute to the industry’s future success. The CBC is committed to promoting and supporting greater equity, diversity, and inclusion for people from all backgrounds, races, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities. The CBC IDEA Committee will promote this mission through various efforts including education, membership outreach, and other strategic activities.
IDEA COMMITTEE INTEREST
The Chicago Building Congress (CBC) Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee meets regularly (every other month) to discuss and plan activities and events with the purpose of creating awareness about the importance that IDEA initiatives play in the construction and design industry in Chicagoland. The IDEA Committee promotes its mission (see above) through various efforts including education, membership outreach, and other strategic activities. Committee members are expected to support the mission but are not required to have any specific IDEA-related experience. We’re looking for members with fresh ideas, strong organizational/communication skills, and those who are motivated to represent the CBC IDEA Committee and its mission.
