TESTIMONIALS
The Inland Empire Regional Chamber of Commerce has been a critical partner to supporting Small Business Majority's ecosystem building work in the Inland Empire. Through the partnership we've established over the years, our organizations have collectively worked to increase access to resources for marginalized communities as well as providing access to critical resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Inland Empire continues to evolve and be a significant driver for economic growth in California, thus ensuring small business owners are equipped to start, grow, prosper and play a role in building an inclusive economy is a top priority for Small Business Majority. This partnership helps us tap into this region and drive a stronger connected ecosystem to the benefit of our entrepreneurial community.
