The Shoreline Chamber of Commerce adopted a new Inclusion & Ethics Policy to foster an equitable business environment for its members. This policy outlines standards for respectful conduct and provides a structured, confidential process for addressing concerns. President Kevin Barrett stated that the initiative reflects the Chamber’s commitment to Shoreline's vibrant and diverse business community. Developed over several months, the policy incorporates feedback from Chamber Board Members, general members, and community voices.
