OAR is a community-based nonprofit which envisions a safe and thriving community where those impacted by the legal system enjoy equal civil and human rights. OAR's downstream work allows them to be on the journey with individuals of all genders returning to the community from incarceration and support their families in the homecoming process. In this month’s Small Business Roundtable, learn why it is important for employers to "ban the box" and the additional benefits they get from hiring individuals that previously experienced incarceration. OAR will also be sharing resources on the importance of hiring BIPOC talent and other diverse populations. Grand Sponsor Registration for current members of the Chamber is free. Prospective members may register for $20. All registrants will receive the Zoom meeting link in the confirmation email upon registration.
