About the SYMPOSIUM

Join Arouet and our community partners for an impactful morning that will provide information and guidance about fair chance hiring and the steps that all corporations and businesses must take to become fair chance employers. Arouet’s inaugural Fair Chance Employment Symposium will include tips on how to successfully implement inclusive hiring policies that will open doors to a dedicated, loyal, and profitable workforce.

This incomparable, game-changing event features:

  • A keynote presentation from investment strategist Jeff Korzenik, author of Untapped Talent and frequent guest analyst on Fox Business News, CNBC & Bloomberg News
  • Invaluable fair chance guidance from Arouet, including a copy of Untapped Talent and digital resources
  • Informative panel discussions with fair chance policy makers, lawmakers, and business leaders
  • Closing remarks from Ken Oliver, Executive Director of Checkr Foundation
  • A world-class, Arizona Biltmore breakfast

Crisis looms for Arizona’s economy. A grave labor shortage threatens to derail potential growth and prosperity across our state. But there is an untapped well of talent in Arizona just waiting for their opportunity to propel businesses of all sizes toward success and profitability.

Justice-impacted people account for 1 in 3 Americans, and they want a fair chance to devote their skills and talent to employers who recognize their immense potential. 

We are losing billions in lost tax revenue and other costs when we fail to provide opportunities to justice-impacted people. Removing the barriers to employment these individuals face is critical to Arizona’s competitive advantage, both domestically and internationally.
