BOSTON, MA –
The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the honorees of the second annual Pacesetters Awards. The Chamber’s Pacesetters Awards celebrate the intense commitment, action, and extraordinary results of companies and individuals leading in corporate supplier diversity.

“Congratulations to the Chamber’s 2023 Pacesetters Awards Honorees! These business leaders and companies represent the best of the Commonwealth’s supplier diversity community. Incorporating equity into procurement best practices is one of the important and meaningful ways that we can build a more inclusive business community. Successful partnerships between businesses of color and large corporations means that we are championing equity and closing the region’s racial wealth gap. It is our responsibility to ensure that Massachusetts is a place where every business of color can succeed, and our honorees exemplify how to champion equitable commerce every day,” said James E. Rooney, President & CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
