Fifth Annual Black-Owned Business Excellence Symposium

Join Me At The Fifth Annual BOBE Symposium where I will be a panelist on Day 2, February 1, 2024.

This multi-day event will be a kick-off event for Black History Month (also known as Black-Owned Business Excellence Month) and a host of other workshops and training scheduled for throughout February. This multi-day event builds on and extends many efforts to build connections with and between Black-focused business groups and entrepreneurs.

This multi-day Symposium will be interactive, impactful, and invigorating.
