SAN DIEGO, CA – The Central San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce (CSBCC) signed a strategic alliance with the newly formed San Diego and Imperial County Chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC). The two organizations have pledged to work together to improve business access to information through networking and resources to business owners. The agreement was signed by CSBCC President Michael Allen and NAMC President/CEO Aldrica Lattimore.
NAMC’s mission is to provide education and training to minority contractors in construction; to promote the economic and legal interests of minority contractor firms; to advocate laws and governmental actions that concern minority contractors; to bring about more equitable and wider procurement and business opportunities; to reduce and remove the barriers to full equality which confront minority contractors; to build bridges between minority contractors and the parties or entities with whom they must work; to create a forum of sharing, developing and maintaining the highest professional standards and mutual support.
“NAMC San Diego & Imperial County Chapter look forward to working with the Central San Diego & Imperial County Chamber of Commerce. We plan to work closely with CSBCC and Mr. Allen to ensure that our respective members are able to take full advantage of resources and educational and training opportunities.
We will work communally to ensure that both NAMC’s and CSBCC members have a voice and collectively make a difference,” says President/CEO Aldrica Lattimore.
“It is our goal to bring businesses together and enhance the opportunities to do business with one another, other businesses and major corporate entities. We want to work closely with NAMC to bring their members as many opportunities as possible to foster growth and representation with the best relationships possible. We at the Central San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce strongly emphasize the products and services we deliver are a by-product of the relationships we establish” says CSDBCC President/Michael Allen.
