What is Prosper?
The Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce formed Prosper in 2010 as the national advocacy forum to focus on small businesses, promote economic vitality and encourage collaboration and advocacy for entrepreneurial success. It is a great way for businesses to have their voices heard on a national platform!
The annual advocacy event is hosted by the Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce and is held in Washington D.C. in September of each year during the ALC to:
- Promote economic vitality and encourage collaboration and advocacy for entrepreneurial success
- Raise visibility of California’s Capital and its diverse business opportunities
- Encourage education and mobilization through advocacy at the federal level
- Bring local issues to the national forefront, and
- Develop relationships with Congressional Representatives and other key contacts
Sustainability in Underrepresented Communities Policy Session
What is Sustainability in Underrepresented Communities?
Sustainability is the equitable distribution of resources and opportunities while living in balance – in health, environmentally, socially, and economically. This is achieved by focusing on and connecting key aspects of community.
Improving neighborhoods, building communities and businesses in underserved, low to medium income populations, immigrant and communities of color, rising transportation costs and a widening disparity in health and wellness are among the policy issues that we will advance.
