Rotarians Volunteer at the 39th Annual Indiana Black Expo
Rotarians volunteered at two Indiana Black Expo events this year:
Economic Development Roundtable: “Survival Skills for Small Businesses in the Current Economy” and Elected and Appointed Officials Reception.
These were the two most prominent events for the BBC and were well attended. The BBC is a great opportunity for our club to reach out and show our support in the community.
HISTORY
IBE has been a pillar of the Indianapolis and Indiana community for 39 years. It has encouraged, uplifted and celebrated the accomplishments and achievements of African-Americans throughout Indiana. IBE has made and continues to make its imprint on this community and throughout the country.
One component of IBE that continues to gain stellar recognition is their Black Business Conference (BBC). This conference was created over 10 years ago and has become a significant enhancement to IBE’s overall imprint in Indiana. The BBC takes place the entire week of July 13th with workshops, roundtable discussions, lecture series’, receptions and a vast array of networking opportunities for MBE’s/WBE’s as well as community organizations and leaders.
