By conducting seminars on how your business can become certified to do business with these municipalities we are assisting with the direct growth and development of the black business community. We are excited to be playing such a pivotal role in the job growth of our city and county,” said Bill Diggs, President and CEO of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce.
