Access and Appetizers Happy Hour and Community Conversation

Join the Economic Development Association for Black Communities (EDABC) for an evening of networking, appetizers, and meaningful dialogue. Access & Appetizers is more than a happy hour—it’s a space for members and potential members to connect, share ideas, and engage in a community conversation about how we continue to move the needle of access forward.

As we have seen with the current administration, policy remains critical, but it cannot be our only strategy for advancing equitable access. Together, we will explore fresh approaches, collective strategies, and community-driven solutions that expand opportunities for Black businesses and communities to thrive.

This is your chance to connect with fellow leaders, visionaries, and changemakers while contributing to a conversation that shapes how we build a future rooted in inclusion, equity, and lasting access.
