Chamber of Commerce

Most people are aware that their cities have a traditional Chamber of Commerce. A couple of years ago while living in Dallas and doing freelance social media work for a tech company I was introduced to the Black Chamber of Commerce. They focus on the needs of minorities in the community. Lots of events on finance, health care, and entrepreneurship. Most Chamber of Commerce do not have young members. I highly suggest joining yours and becoming a voice for your peers. Learn more about Chamber of Commerce.
