The Black Business Association's mission is to advocate for and advance the development and growth of African-American owned businesses. This contributes to and participates in the self-determination, economic growth and prosperity of African-American communities, thereby creating a strong economic base that nurtures, empowers and supports the ongoing success of these communities and our society at large. Increasing the number of successful minority businesses by helping them gain access to procurement opportunities and capital is an ongoing process.
