Flint & Genesee Chamber Of Commerce: Statement From Flint & Genesee Group CEO Tim Herman On The Derek Chauvin Verdict

Press release from Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce:

April 21, 2021

Today, our thoughts are with the family and friends of George Floyd. Our nation took a clear step forward on accountability for Mr. Floyd’s death when a jury found former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, guilty on all counts that he faced.

We hope the Floyd family can find some solace from the verdict. But, the fight for racial justice and equitable treatment for all is far from over. We must continue work not only for criminal justice reform but also, for all forms of systemic racism.

We at the Flint & Genesee Group are committed to working with our community toward creating racial equity across the many systems and organizations throughout Genesee County, especially as it relates to access, protections and the allocation of resources.

Tim Herman, CEO
