Inclusive Economic Development Event Series
In 2025, the DEI Committee of the West Des Moines Chamber will focus on fostering Inclusive Economic Development by bringing together thought leaders, advocates, and innovators to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our growing and diverse community. This year’s series will feature dynamic events – eight in total – designed to inspire action and provide practical tools for fostering inclusion across sectors.
Out to Lunch: Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Connect with fellow business and community leaders while supporting our local bars and restaurants. “Out to Lunch” is a fantastic networking series hosted by the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce and the Explore WDM Committee. Bring your business cards and appetite—you’re responsible for the cost of your own lunch, and we encourage you to make a reservation if needed. It’s a great way to build relationships, enjoy delicious meals, and boost our vibrant local dining scene.
