Milford Regional Chamber And Black Business Alliance Partner

MILFORD, CT — The Black Business Alliance and Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce announced a new partnership to give minority-owned businesses in the Milford region access to more opportunities and capital.

The BBA will retain an affiliate seat on the chamber's board of directors.

"Having a seat at the table is important," says Anne-Marie Knight, Executive Director of the Black Business Alliance. “This partnership moves the needle and will swing the door open wide to opportunities; allowing black businesses to eat from the table. I am excited to see that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are a top priority for the MRCC, and look forward to launching some new initiatives and creating lasting positive change for the businesses we serve. BBA is excited to work alongside the MRCC team.”

The Black Business Alliance is a 501-c6 non-profit membership organization that seeks to empower, guide, promote and grow small and medium-sized black and minority businesses throughout Connecticut.

" We enthusiastically welcome the BBA as an affiliate and look forward to working together for the greater good of our community," said MRCC Board of Directors Chair Christine Gonillo. "Through the sharing of ideas and resources new opportunities are born, grow and ultimately yield productive and positive results for all.”
