The Utah Black Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the very first Utah Black Chamber Wealth Esteem Conference, set to take place on August 14 at Millcreek Commons. This highly anticipated event is dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses alike, and aims to provide them with the tools and resources they need to achieve success. Attendees can look forward to learning from industry experts and potentially connecting with investors and business partners.
According to Dr. Sidni Shorter, President and CEO of the Utah Black Chamber of Commerce, the Wealth Esteem Conference is a crucial step towards economic empowerment for the Black community. In a press release, she stated, "We are bringing together some of the brightest minds and industry leaders to equip our members with the knowledge and resources needed to build sustainable wealth. This is more than just a conference; it's a catalyst for change and growth."
The timing of this conference also aligns perfectly with the group's Financial Capacity Program, which is designed to support 10-15 Black businesses within the Utah Black Chamber of Commerce. This six-month program, running from July to December 2024, aims to assist participants in identifying, structuring, and building their accounting systems for better financial decision-making.
The conference boasts an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, including Ashley D. Bell, President of Redemption Holding, a Black-owned holding company dedicated to expanding access to capital for people of color. Other notable speakers include J. Alexander Martin, Founder and Executive Vice President of FUBU and CEO of For Us By Us Network, Dr. Calvin Mackie, Founder of STEM NOLA, a nonprofit focused on providing project-based learning to students in grades K-12, and Kim Roxie, CEO and Founder of LAMIK Cosmetics, a vegan makeup line that promotes inclusivity for women of color.
The event will run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with an exclusive networking session from 3:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for invite-only guests to connect with keynote speakers and session leaders. As stated in the event flyer, "This conference aims to provide attendees with actionable insights, valuable connections, and a sense of community as they work to overcome the systemic barriers Black entrepreneurs and investors face. The significance of a Black wealth conference that emphasizes the creation, growth, sharing, and sustainability of wealth cannot be overstated."
We encourage everyone to join us in supporting the Utah Black Chamber of Commerce and their efforts towards empowering the Black community through economic growth and prosperity. Let's come together and make a positive impact on the future of Black businesses and entrepreneurs. See you at the Utah Black Chamber Wealth Esteem Conference on August 14!
