Throughout the years, we have continued to champion diversity and inclusion as a source of strength and opportunity. We fight on behalf of the thousands of diverse business owners in our region, including the over 6,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander owned businesses, and offer the technical support, resources, and level of advocacy they need to thrive as part of an inclusive economy in the Sacramento region.We believe in the power of collaboration. We are currently leading efforts to drive technical support and a much needed policy change for small businesses along our aging commercial corridors, helping build a strategic action plan that prioritizes the region’s core economic initiatives for a more prosperous, equitable, and resilient region, and working to elevate Sacramento’s status as one of the most diverse and integrated cities in the nation.
