Entrepreneur
Program
The spirit of entrepreneurship is very strong in today's young
adults. The chamber will partner with established colleges and
universities to develop, implement and manage a program to teach
young adults how to become an entrepreneur. Details TBA.
School District of
Philadelphia
Since 2003 the School District of Philadelphia has partnered with
the AACC in efforts to increase awareness and enhance the
opportunities for African American businesses to secure contracts
with the School District. Through this program vendors receive
training and information in the overall bidding process. Through
this program, small vendors/contractors are provided technical
assistance in meeting requirements for doing business with the
School District.
Revolving Loan Pool
The Chamber has established a funding service with the assistance
of the Pennsylvania Minority Business Development Authority and
United Bank to develop a loan pool to assist minority businesses.
The lack of adequate funding is one of the leading causes of
minority business failure. To qualify you must be 51% minority
owned, have current financial statements and possess a business
plan. For more information, contact the Chamber today!
If you would like to sponsor an upcoming networking session,
please contact Lynne Williams or Keisha Smith @ 751-9501 or email
