Join us for a FREE virtual fireside chat where we will find out about Grand Rapids Chamber DEI 2021 Epic Awards Finalist Jessa Challa and her journey to founding the Grand Rapids version of "GIS Jess" and becoming CEO of Mallowfields. 

 How do we find ourselves impacting Grand Rapids as individuals, minority business owners, and just founders that want to find a way to make an impact? How do we use our skills and impact local committees and national chapters?  How do we capitalize GR in growth and go?  What does the future of geographic information systems at Mallowfields look like in 2022?  What's one Epic thing she encourages others to think about doing?  How are we growing forward in 2022?

About Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Month

This month Startup Grind is celebrating DEI month, presented with SVB and supported by Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; 31 days to emphasize the importance of diversity across our global startup ecosystem, and what it means to all of us. We are so excited to take this time to recognize and amplify the voices of leaders in our globally diverse communities, providing a platform for those that may not have been heard previously.

In addition to this event, you can also view Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Month events taking place across our global startup community here or register for our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Summit here.
