The Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce facilitates and serves as an advocate for the creation, development, growth, and general welfare of African-American business community in the greater Fresno area. We accomplish this by: Advocating on behalf of members and the general Black business community Informing membership of issues vital to businesses of the greater Fresno community Increasing public awareness of the black business community and the impact of the Fresno's black buying power Promoting black-owned businesses within the Black and mainstream community Increasing the capacity of current and potential members through education and training services Since 2000, the Chamber has been a resource to the Valley's African-American community due to Ken Blackwood and the founding board of directors. On behalf of the board of directors, advisory team, staff & volunteers, we extend an open hand to you and your organization.
