GOALS
We work within economic development ecosystems to open the doors to equity, inclusion, and fair economic opportunity. Where the system needs to change, we help make that change happen. From HBCU student entrepreneurs to established minority-led business entities, our DEI goals include:
- Building diverse leadership, which in minority economic development means ownership and mutual stewardship.
- Supporting personal and professional growth, peer-to-peer mentorship, business sector networking, and responsible wealth-building.
- Strengthening MWBEs and community-builders, offering the tools needed to be competitive and the knowledge necessary to be powerful.
- Eliminating barriers to asset-building capital embedded in the financial system since its beginnings.
- Assisting corporate and public entities in adopting more equitable policies and procurement best practices for supplier inclusion, staff and board diversity, and public engagement.
