Strive Together. Thrive Together.

We invite the members of Associated Industries of Massachusetts to join with those who seek to create a more just society for our Commonwealth.

Champions of Better Business

This effort is intended to help companies realize the benefits of inclusion and to broaden the potential pool of talented employees, key vendors, and potential customers.

A Collaborative Journey

We are working on public policy, education, and community information to help our members create a roadmap that expands the diversity of their organizations.

Our Commitment

Associated Industries of Massachusetts is committed to an inclusive vision of economic growth in which every business in the commonwealth has access to the resources it needs to compete and share in the economic prosperity of the state. Inclusion fosters an environment in which all individuals, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to succeed and in which businesses thrive by tapping into the full spectrum of human potential.

The return on investment for inclusion is compelling. An inclusive economy provides enhanced innovation and creativity, improved financial performance, improved retention of talent, and enhanced employee satisfaction. It creates a robust and resilient economy capable of innovative growth and sustained success. Knowing that 60 percent of the US economy – $16.3 trillion – is driven by diverse markets and women, inclusion marks the path to an economy that is both just and prosperous.

Our ultimate job is to create an economy that allows people to thrive today and tomorrow, for a brighter future for all.

“The issues before us today define who we are as a people and as a business community. With challenge comes opportunity. We must stop, reflect, educate, and change ourselves and the world around us.”
