Minorities Join Forces

Key words for this post:
Minority Entrepreneurs

By any measure, Sacramento, California is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country. It boasts strong Hispanic, Asian/Pacific and Black communities, each of which has established its own chamber of commerce.

Each of these communities faces similar issues: How can we help entrepreneurs willing to risk capital to start new businesses or expand successful ones? How do we ensure a work force that's ready for work, and advance policies that promote opportunity and innovation? How can we best work together as a rich and varied ethnic community?

Solving the problems isn't easy. It involves addressing complex economic issues and long hard hours playing political games.

So the Multi-Cultural Business Forum came into being. The Forum, Valley Vision and the Sacramento Business Journal are hosting a half-day gathering to bring people from small businesses and large corporations from all across the region to learn about ways to leverage their diversity.

By leveraging the diversity of the region, the entire region can prosper.

Congratulations to the Multi-Cultural Business Forum for taking this immense step.

  1. Hello MaryAnn Shank,

    One of the sections in my article directory is Business ... while looking for blogs on entrepreneurs, I discovered " Minorities Join Forces ".

    Most people believe the best content on the internet is created by bloggers ... original content, experiences and opinions. Nothing to sell and no hidden agendas!

    As someone who appears to be interested in entrepreneurs, I am sure you will find our Businesst section to be interesting. I am continually searching for bloggers to submit articles and assist me to expand the directory to all our benefit. By contributing, you not only get the recognition of being an author, but also knowing your submission will be seen by many hundreds of internet surfers. The pride and satisfaction of seeing your article published in a prestige directory is hard to beat.

    Not all of us are born with the talent to write to high standards of literacy ... as a consequence, a lot of bloggers don't try to have their articles published.

    I like an informal style of writing that matches your personality and fits in with your article content. I welcome articles that are uniquely based on your personal knowledge, experiences and opinions. All I request is that your content does not contain vulgar language, incite hatred or generally offensive.

    Without any commitments ... please pop over and browse my blog articles directory for yourself.

    Kind Regards
    Emily
