In the fall of 2020, the Indy Chamber along with the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP) in collaboration with the Indianapolis Urban League (IUL) launched Business Equity for Indy (BEI). Following a summer that witnessed a new level of awareness of the deep, racial disparities that continue to confront Central Indiana and the country, as well as a devastating pandemic, BEI was created to grow a more inclusive business climate and build greater equity and economic opportunity for the Indy region’s Black residents and people of color.
