It's a commitment. In fact, hryslers commitment to equal econom c
opportunities for minorities and i endorsement of the principles of the CP
. is historic. Thats why Dr. Benja in Hooks of the NAACP and Le Iacoc co-signed
a document that reaffirms that commitment. Its called the "Statement of F ir Share
Principles" Its all about how Chrysler does business with minorities to th
· benefit of all. '. '.. I
Even though Chrysler leads the auto Industry In overall erriployme t of
minorities their stated goal is to increase the growth rate for minorities ent ring
executive management, supervisory and top technical ranks.
To make this and other programs work, Chrysler has a gro p of se ior
managers, executives and officers called the Equal Opportunity A visory om­
mittee. They have done much to increase the level and quality of hrysler equal
opportunity initiatives. '.
But for Chrysler equal opportunity goes beyond the work ceo Mi ority au 0
dealers have tripled over the past five years and they do business n cities mall and
large from coast to coast. ..
Since 1984 when Chrysler established the Special Supplier Progra to
increase the use of minority-owned firms, several key minority ��hdors ha e
received the Quality Excellence Award and for over 20 years Chrysler has en
doing business with minority financial mstitunons. In 1989 the n mber h d
� reached 90 banks in 62 cities across the country. . .1·
Putting money into banks is not the only way Chrysler en . ches mi ority
communities. Through its charitable foundation, Chrysler assists rganizat ons such
as the NAAqP, United egro College Fund, National Urban Leagu ,Opera on PUSH
and many others. '.
It's easy to see that from the Chrysler workplace to a minori stude
receiving a Chrysler scholarship, "Fair Share" is what Chrysler is I about.
