New York, New York – New York’s largest African American Chamber gearing up to strengthen African American Business owners capacity in the region. Many urban areas in the NYC/Long Island region are experiencing significant business decline due to lack of business organization. The founders of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce saw a significant gap and formed the chamber to begin to rebuild the social and economic fabric of the communities it serves on a daily basis. The service areas of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce (LIAACC) are Kings County, Queens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. Small Business owners outside of these service territories are welcomed to join the chamber. The chamber’s goal is to become a directory of quality services for the African American Community in the region. As many of the neighborhoods in the region are experiencing significant change we look forward to serving as a stabilizing force for Black Business growth and development. A part of the chamber’s mission is supporting existing business establishments, capacity building, technical assistance, advocacy and access to capital. Many downtowns areas in the African American Community are prime locations to build thriving businesses where we shop in massive numbers on a routine basis which shows our economic clout and potential viability of developing businesses in the communities where we sometimes live and work. Black Wall Street is not an allusion; it is similar to Booker T. Washington’s statement “Caste down your buckets where you are”. “As President of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. I believe we are living in a unique time in space which affords us an opportunity to ponder upon our past and present successes and begin to organize one of the largest African American Chambers of Commerce in the nation. New York is a significant state in the region, as well as the NYC metropolitan area” Phil Andrews, President. It is no secret of the massive buying power of African Americans in the region, so it stands to reason with the proper business organization, database, business 2 business directories, business 2 consumer directories and leadership skills an organization of this magnitude can begin to serve as a model for African American communities across the nation. LIAACC is a member of the USBlackChamber.com and looks forward to bringing quality products and services to its member network. LIAACC is a leading advocate for Minority Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) certification and utilization in the four counties of Brooklyn, Nassau, Suffolk and Queens. Charlene Thompson of Baldwin-based Thompson Economic Development Services stated in Newsday “We want our professional services as well as our trades to be aware of the contracting opportunities”. We want to give business owners the skills and capacity to successfully engage in government contracting on the local stage and national levels, so they can not only sustain themselves and the employees, but hire folks and create jobs.”

New York, New York – New York’s largest African American Chamber gearing up to strengthen African
American Business owners capacity in the region. Many urban areas in the NYC/Long Island region
are experiencing significant business decline due to lack of business organization. The founders of the
Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce saw a significant gap and formed the chamber to
begin to rebuild the social and economic fabric of the communities it serves on a daily basis. The service
areas of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce (LIAACC) are Kings County, Queens
County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. Small Business owners outside of these service territories
are welcomed to join the chamber. The chamber’s goal is to become a directory of quality services for
the African American Community in the region. As many of the neighborhoods in the region are
experiencing significant change we look forward to serving as a stabilizing force for Black Business
growth and development. A part of the chamber’s mission is supporting existing business
establishments, capacity building, technical assistance, advocacy and access to capital. Many
downtowns areas in the African American Community are prime locations to build thriving businesses
where we shop in massive numbers on a routine basis which shows our economic clout and potential
viability of developing businesses in the communities where we sometimes live and work. Black Wall
Street is not an allusion; it is similar to Booker T. Washington’s statement “Caste down your buckets
where you are”.
“As President of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. I believe we are living in a
unique time in space which affords us an opportunity to ponder upon our past and present successes
and begin to organize one of the largest African American Chambers of Commerce in the nation. New
York is a significant state in the region, as well as the NYC metropolitan area” Phil Andrews, President.
It is no secret of the massive buying power of African Americans in the region, so it stands
to reason with the proper business organization, database, business 2 business directories,
business 2 consumer directories and leadership skills an organization of this magnitude can
begin to serve as a model for African American communities across the nation. LIAACC is
a member of the USBlackChamber.com and looks forward to bringing quality products and
services to its member network. LIAACC is a leading advocate for Minority Women Business Enterprise
(MWBE) certification and utilization in the four counties of Brooklyn, Nassau, Suffolk and Queens. Charlene
Thompson of Baldwin-based Thompson Economic Development Services stated in Newsday “We want our
professional services as well as our trades to be aware of the contracting opportunities”. We want to give business
owners the skills and capacity to successfully engage in government contracting on the local stage and national
levels, so they can not only sustain themselves and the employees, but hire folks and create jobs.”
