USBC to Testify before Congress

Washington, D.C.– Tomorrow, July 9th U.S. Black Chambers’ President & CEO Ron Busby will testify before Congress as it relates to Black-owned businesses receiving fair access to capital and financial services.

As a voice for the nation’s Black business owners I’m going before Congress to outline the U.S. Black Chambers’ vision for fair and equitable access to capital for Black business owners,” said USBC President Ron Busby.
