The President's Corner:
       Peggy Says:

Greetings…..Membership, Sponsors & Friends of
SCBCC………..

Having been recently re- elected as SCBCC President 2010/2011, I am pleased to have a Board of Directors & an Advisory Committee  of experienced/professional & ‘seasoned’ Business Owners & Leaders  who have a passion, desire & understanding that as Owners they  have a responsibility to be “Advocates”  for their Communities in Governmental Affairs, Public Policy, Education & Business Development…….This Board  represents Vallejo & Fairfield/Suisun City, in their residency  which translates, that, SCBCC will have a greater presence in the Northern sector of Solano County…… SCBCC is affiliated with the California (State) Black Chamber of Commerce and is a member  of the 21- Council of Chambers “d    Edicated to Economic Empowerment”........Our Annual  Delegates Luncheon  meeting was 1-27-2010, in Sacramento

The clarion call was….”Chamber of Commerce POWER”, thru Improved Community Collaboration on Issues the will ‘evidence’ our position in Local, Regional, State & National Public Policy Issues…& Cross Support of Chamber Events throughout the State of California…..Influencing our Youth thru Jr. Chamber programs with schools in Leadership Development…..

In panel discussions several issues stood tall among the African American Chambers & Businesses……. #1 Chambers having a 501 (c3) non-profit foundation ….#2 Business owners need to ‘own’ the buildings they occupy & not be at the mercy of the Landlord…It is a fact that there is non-profit monies available, yet not accessible to Chambers, due to the difference of 501 (c6) which is the classification of Chambers of Commerce vs 50l (c3) (charitable organizations)…..fact there are SBA  Business Loans (under $50,000) available for existing Business Operating costs & Business Loans to purchase Property …..#3 Certifications,  necessary to provide Vendor Services to Major Corporations/Institutions…..SCBCC will provide updates & How to Information on these & other issues…….
SCBCC will be joining the 1st Friday Biz Mixers with Courtyard Marriott Hotel , Vallejo – Friday 2-5-2010, 5:00 – 6:30 pm (free) See you there…. 

ALSO,
