New York, New York - On October 9th, 2024 the first scheduled day of MEDWEEK will begin at 6:00 and end at 9:00 pm at Town of Hempstead Pavilion One Washington Street, Hempstead, N.Y. 11550.
(MED Week) Offers a venue for minority-owned firms to access information, tools, and resources to grow their businesses both domestically and internationally through networking events, workshops, and issue forums.
The events that compose MED Week are meant to raise awareness among minority business owners, and the larger business community and support these businesses in their efforts to grow to scale.
The L.I. African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. was founded in 2010 and is N.Y.’s State’s Largest African American Chamber, and was named the Metro N.Y. District of the U.S. SBA 2019 Small Business Champion for 14 counties in Downstate, N.Y.
For the last two years the LI African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc., served as a participating organization in the Community Navigator Pilot Program, which was funded in part through United States Black Chamber’s grant with the U.S. SBA.
We are requesting all participants to register in advance for the 1st day to get all updates for MED Week 2024; as we anticipate increased participation as the event has gained momentum in N.Y., State.
A theme of MED Week each year is that Minority entrepreneurs can benefit from increased commitment of the federal and state governments to award contracts to them, but only if they first have a strong, well-organized operation, officials said at last year’s conference.
In a prior Newsday article Charlene Thompson, President of Thompson Economic Development Services, LLC, a government contractor in Baldwin stated, “We have a federal and a state government that has in mind to help small businesses, particularly those of us who have often been underserved, underrepresented.”
She continued, “But we have to make sure that they are ready.” There are corporate partners that can help you get your house in order.” Thompson is an expert in government housing programs and a law professor at Hofstra University.
