Our Mission
The Southern Georgia Black Chambers is a non-profit organization consisting of individuals engaging in Business, Community, and Government activities.
Our mission is to achieve the objectives of promoting business and community growth and development by educating the black business community in the Southern Region of the Georgia Coalition of Black Chambers and representing them in the city, county, state, and national legislative and political affairs; promoting economic programs designed to strengthen and expand the income potential of all business within the region of Southern Georgia; promoting programs of civic, social and cultural nature which are designed to increase the functional and aesthetic values of the community; and discovering and correcting abuses which prevent the promotion of business expansion and community growth.
Why are Black Chambers Necessary?
Black chambers of commerce are not just important; they are absolutely vital to the economic empowerment and advancement of the Black community.
With African American buying power exceeding $1 trillion nationally and a staggering $70 billion here in Georgia, the need for dedicated support and advocacy for Black-owned businesses is undeniable.
Black chambers exist because we understand the unique cultural nuances and interests of this dynamic consumer market. We recognize that historical inequities and systemic barriers have created a playing field that is far from level. That's why we are driven by an unwavering passion to:
-
Provide a powerful platform: We create spaces where the collective voices of Black entrepreneurs can be heard, ensuring their needs and concerns are addressed with urgency and understanding.
-
Bridge the gap: We connect Black-owned businesses to essential resources, mentorship, and opportunities that may have been historically out of reach.
-
Champion economic growth: We are dedicated to fostering the creation and growth of competitive, sustainable Black businesses that not only thrive in today's marketplace but also leave a legacy for generations to come.
Our commitment to the Black business community burns bright. We are more than just a chamber; we are a movement, a force for positive change, and a beacon of hope for a brighter economic future. We will continue to fight tirelessly to ensure that Black businesses have the tools, resources, and support they need to achieve their full potential and contribute to the vibrancy of our communities.
