President’s Message:

As many of us go into the Holiday Season and the year quickly fades away. I want you to look back

on 2011 and see what is it that accomplished this year? What could you have done differently? Most

importantly did you meet or exceed your personal goals and expectations? A New Year brings on

New Opportunities. I urge our members and followers to be ever so prepared for 2012.

The Chamber has asked ourselves those very same questions and can tell you that I feel pretty good

at the answers we have come up with. The Riverside County Black Chamber is very close to meeting

our goals and we have definitely EXCEEDED our expectations.

It makes me proud when I see all people working together. Not the Black helping the Black, the

White helping the White, the Hispanic helping the Hispanic but ALL people helping each other. Our

Chamber has set the bar for businesses to step outside the box that has been keeping them in bondage

from success! We have a great 2012 year planned for you and believe me if you thought 2011 was

awesome it won’t compare to this upcoming year!

Stay Blessed and Have a Safe and Enjoyable Holiday Season.
