The Black-Owned Business Excellence event is 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 will be followed by a panel discussion among Black business owners; a discussion of the PPP and other SBA economic relief programs, and breakout sessions focused on nascent business, startup, existing business, and advancement.
