Historically, traditional Chambers of Commerce lack the equity lens needed to effectively support and promote Black owned businesses. Membership with the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce earns you the advocacy and representation you have been looking for to take your business to the next level and move the needle on the Black economic agenda in the Capital Region.
