President’s Corner
We’re Back!
Dear Reader, It is with great pleasure to welcome you to The Acumen, a monthly e-magazine for our Denver community. Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce has relaunched The Acumen for you to read about what our wonderful members are up to. In this inaugural issue we are hearing the stories from 8 companies from Health ONE to Whiting Turner Contracting Company. Any member is welcome to submit their work for publication. Please submit to TheAcumen@cbcc.biz. Since 1985, our mission is to support the initiatives of African American business owners and foster an enterprise that focuses on success and viability. We endeavor to create awareness and visibility of our efforts at local, state and federal levels through lobbying and advocacy. We strive to provide access to education and training that keeps African American business owners in step with the ever-changing requirements of Colorado’s economic playing field. Today, we have created 3 Special Interest Groups to address the needs of our members: Black Construction Group, Black Retailers Group, and the Black Professional Services Group.
These groups will provide monthly networking opportunities and information from expert speakers in their fields. Please check us out by reaching to our new Facilitator, Jevon Taylor, at Jevon.Taylor@cbcc.biz. This year, be on the lookout for our Quarterly Breakfast Series, Summer Lunch & Learn, and After-hours mixers. All are for our members to participate and gain additional tools to help their business grow. If you are not a member and are interested, please complete an application https://members.cbcc.biz/member/ newmemberapp/. As you read through this issue, please take time to get to know our members and what they do. You just might find a new opportunity for your business. Let’s have a great New Year!
