What Our Members Say

  • "The Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce is an organization that was built to serve members, partners, and minority business leaders; at Mixtroz we not only hear this promise but our business feels it. In the age of the startups, partnership is key and as the business has grown and evolved so has our partnership with the Chamber community. From amplifying our voice with accolades like 'Rising Star' and 'Business of the Year' to becoming a PAYING customer of Mixtroz organizations like the NBCOC set the bar for its peers on both the local and National scale."

    Ashlee Ammons, Mixtroz

  • "Our business - Mitech Partners - continues to benefit from Leads, referrals, new clients and introductions as a result of our consistent engagement with the Nashville Black Chamber. It’s clear that any local business can grow through the NBCC’s efforts in the business community."

    Bill McCleskey, Mitech Partners

  • "The Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce has been an excellent resource for networking with professionals around the Nashville community. Through their events, members can get information about opportunities in the city; you can meet people working in the same or similar profession, and be apart of their invaluable workshops and seminars to help your business become more successful. Another great thing about the NBCC is the connections and the lifelong friendships made. The Project DReam Community Initiative and I are so grateful to have the encouragement and support of the NBCC."

    Gerald Onuoha II MD

  • "As a recipient of the 2015 Small Business of the Year award, it was an honor to be recognized by the Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce. Through the tireless efforts of leadership, the Chamber continues to identify minority small business owners who strive to make a difference in the communities in which we serve. The Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce challenges small businesses to think globally as we scale to the next level. The NBCC never hesitates to introduce key corporate leaders of Fortune 500s who become an integral part of conversations that may ultimately lead to successful entries into critical supply chains."

    Sharon W. Reynolds, President/CEO, DevMar Products, LLC - www.devmarproducts.com

  • "The Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce supports my business and has helped me create a Network of companies that is allowing me to expand my business opportunities. As a Member and a 2018 Rising Star, I take great pride in our relationship and I will continue to be engaged for years to come!"

    Carlyle Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, United Global Expedited Services, Inc.

  • "I’ve worked with the Black Chamber of Commerce for more than three years, and I’m continually moved by its ability to connect and educate business owners while promoting a heart of service. Their networking opportunities opened the door to my company’s involvement in the 2019 NFL Draft — an experience that boosted my clientele while shining a light on our community. I’d encourage anyone interested in learning more about Nashville and minority-led programs, to get involved with the NBCC."

    Josh Shaw, Modern Innovation Production
