Purpose: To support Black and Hispanic business owners and create forums where ideas can be exchanged, shared issues discussed, and business opportunities opened.
Goals:
- Develop and promote monthly networking series with focused speakers on topics of interest.

- Engage in "Conversations That Matter", opening up topics related to how race, ethnicity (and gender) biases impact business.
- Engage and welcome new members with varied backgrounds to the Chamber by matching them with an experienced Chamber member.
