Advocacy

We Listen, Coordinate, and Connect

BBA’s advocacy goals are to operate in the best interest of all its stakeholders including its membership and community partners. We achieve this goal by understanding the challenges of Black entrepreneurs — listening to our members during one-on-one communications, maintaining close connectivity to national thought leaders in the space of Black and minority business development and coordinating efforts with local, state and national governments where we seek to use all available resources to achieve optimal results.

BBA Memphis is a proud member of the U.S. Black Chambers (USBC) and we work to share the information and resources gained through its national collective of Black business organizations and thought leaders.  The USBC fights for legislation that promotes small business growth, particularly policies that address the challenges of Black business owners. Check out “The 2021 BLACKprint” to learn about the current challenges and solutions to help strengthen and grow our black businesses.
