The 2023 Quad Cities Chamber Annual Meeting is bringing together our region's executives, elected officials, business owners and civic leaders as we reveal some of our greatest wins over the past year. Attendees will learn about our recent achievements in building a thriving QC community and hear about our vision of future growth from our CEO and Board Chair.
 
In recognition of the incredible work that so many community members are contributing, we're announcing awards for Business of the Year and Volunteer of the Year.

It's a day of celebration that all dedicated Quad Citizens won't want to miss!


Keynote Speaker:

Louis L. Reed, Sr. Director of Membership and Partnerships
REFORM Alliance 


Disruptive Thinking: The Business Imperative for Inclusion and Innovation 
Louis L. Reed will make the case for businesses to focus on implementing diversity and inclusion practices in the workplace, for the benefit of all stakeholders. Reed will highlight the changing demographics of the workforce and why it's important for businesses to reflect the diversity of our communities, as well as the potential negative impact of homogeneous workforces, including a lack of innovation and reduced competitiveness. Learn the advantages companies can reap from adopting a hiring process that supports bringing on diverse employees, including the LGBTQ+ community, people with criminal records, mothers, immigrants and more. Reed will offer approaches in overcoming these challenges so that businesses can begin increasing engagement, creativity, innovation and customer satisfaction.
 
Reed is the Sr. Director of Membership and Partnerships for the REFORM Alliance with years of experience in government, criminal justice expertise, policy advocacy and public health. Prior to joining REFORM, Reed was the Director of National Organizing & Partnerships for Dream Corps JUSTICE, where he grew the nation's largest bi-partisan grassroots advocacy and organizing coalition through the Empathy Network. He also led advocacy efforts for the historic First Step Act and served as the Director of the Mayor's Office for Reentry Affairs in the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he spearheaded services for persons impacted by the criminal justice system. Reed served nearly 14 years in federal prison.
 
Louis is a Forbes Coaches Council Member, Council of Criminal Justice trustee, Huffington Post contributor and has appeared on CNN, CBSN, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and in national publications. Louis has also earned numerous awards for his dedication to workplace reform, including recognition by The Brigadoon's 2020 top 20 influential leaders, and a 2021 Ebony Magazine Power 100 nomination.
