The Riverside County Black Chamber of Commerce (RCBCC)
de nes ourselves as a Chamber of Commerce with a broad reach.

We are also more, we are a non-pro t organization with a mission
of holistic entrepreneurship. We are “a membership organization
dedicated to o ering products, services and
educational programs for Black Businesses and professionals.”

But that is not all we do. We empower Black and Veteran
Businesses to create employment opportunities in the community.
We strive to make our communities healthier economically and
physically.

RCBCC is committed to improve the mind, body and spirit of our
members and the community. We are proud of the work we do in
the general community. We do this outreach regardless of color or

ethnic background, for example, through our Covered California
community outreach program for 2018, we helped 500 plus
Hispanic/Latinos, Asians, and White families enroll into a ordable

healthcare. In 2019 we will continue to reach out to our
underserved , and minority communities.

As a Black Chamber of Commerce, we build economic

development we also show what economic empowerment looks
like. In this Annual Report you will see the results of our e orts. I
take this time to thank our many, many small business members,

who in my book are “Big” if not in size, then for sure, in “Heart.”

Thank you, to all of our sponsors, our volunteers, our team and
our county and city elected o cials. I o er a special thank you to

my wife Sylvia Jackson, who has lovingly supported me every step
of the way!

In 2019 we will continue to lead by example and practice

Kujichagulia.
