Equity and Advancement (NEAT)
Advancing and Elevating Noblesville
The Noblesville Equity and Advancement Team (NEAT) is a special interest group, aligned with the Chamber of Commerce. The NEAT’s stated vision is to guide Noblesville’s economy towards its potential, fueled by a multicultural community who embraces all businesses and individuals.
Our Mission
To serve as a catalyst for awareness, understanding, and change—to strengthen Noblesville as an inclusive multicultural community through education, resources, and empowerment for employers and employees
Our Vision
To guide Noblesville’s economy towards its potential, fueled by a multicultural community who embraces all businesses and individuals.
In order to address these challenges, The Noblesville Equity and Advancement Team addresses four key areas:
Workplace
By adopting policies and practices which include and embrace people who have historically been absent or silent from organizations
Workforce
Making a concerted effort to recruit qualified employees from traditionally underrepresented groups and welcoming them to Noblesville
Marketplace
To advance the community, minority-owned enterprises and consumers need to be more deeply involved in the regional economy
Community Collaboration
A holistic approach needs to activate educational institutions, government arms, civic organizations, and residents to advance understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) values, which expand opportunities to all. Additionally community collaboration helps to stem the tide of discrimination, racism, and marginalization in our community
Core teachings, programs, and topics for the Noblesville Equity and Advancement Team include:
Cultural competence
The neuroscience of bias
Strategies for identifying and reducing bias
Emotional intelligence
Learning from conflict
Broadening your worldview
