"I've been with the Baton Rouge Black Chamber of Commerce since November 27, 2006, and there have been several accomplishments for us. Membership has increased over 75%, Mayor Kip Holden's Office appropriated $85,000 for us to continue our economic development efforts, and we played a vital role in bringing National Conferences to our city, (i.e.), National Conference of Black Mayors and the National African American School Board Summit. We are moving forward to position our members for upcoming emerging opportunities, but in the meantime we are sticking with our core values, which are toeducate, mentor, unite and empower."
