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.
