SEEKING BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Joining the Board now is an opportunity to take part in an exciting time at Noir Black Chamber of Commerce Inc. Since our launch in late 2019, we have met several milestones, but bigger accomplishments are on their way. As the board moves through 2023 and begins planning for 2024, we want to open our board recruitment to young black professionals outside of our network. We know that age diversity will help Noir Black Chamber of Commerce Inc. continue to grow and thrive.
