The
Business Collaborative is a cross section of the business community
seeking ways to be more inclusive and included through collaboration.
Our members range from large regional companies to Fortune 500 corporations,
on the one hand, and small emerging companies led by entrepreneurs
of color on the other. Despite their differences in size, they all
have one goal: to succeed in the complex business environment of the
21st century. TBC helps map out the common ground on which they can
do this together.
