It is estimated that 40% of minority businesses shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic from February to April 2020. Now, more than ever, it is important to create new opportunities, form the right strategic partners and alliances, and enhance the infrastructure, workforce, and processes to operate in excellence.

We have an aggressive, but achievable, vision to engage 1 million HBCU Founders, CEOs, and corporate decision-makers over the next decade to create a global network that purchases goods and services, mentors, and supports community members. Our vision is to have a presence on each continent over the next 10 years.

Join us for an upcoming event or program, including Global HBCU CEO Day in November, our monthly Virtual Speed Networking Events, mentoring programs, and community service activities. Visit our events page.

We look forward to seeing you! #meetgreetbemerry
