On Saturday, July 29, 2017, the U.S. Black Chambers Community Economic Development Corporation (USBC CEDC) in partnership with the Heartland St. Louis Black Chamber of Commerce and the National Urban League will hold a free workshop for minority and women entrepreneurs on commercial lending and equity investment options to build wealth. Doors open at 10:30am; event ends at 11:45am.

The Capital Pathways program is targeted towards diverse business owners who have been in business for at least one year, and have generated at least $100,000 in revenue. The program infuses local partnerships and outreach, highlights home-grown founders and CEOs, and promotes inter-generational connections for collective economic growth and empowerment.

The St. Louis workshop is part of a series of 10 workshops led by the USBC CEDC which provides on-going training and development from top lending and credit experts in the field. Participants will learn how to effectively fund and expand their entrepreneurial ventures, and become a part of a network of the nation’s most established entrepreneurs.
