BUSINESS BRIEFINGS

The last Friday of each month - January to October, is reserved for the dynamic African American Chamber of Commerce Business Briefing. Topics are always HOT, current and relevant. While the Chamber seeks lunch sponsors for its briefings to reduce cost, there is always a small fee charged to assure the quality of future events. The cost is only $5 for Members and $10 for Perspective Members. Briefings start sharply at noon and are currently held at 3427 West St. Paul Ave at the local AFSCME Milwaukee office. The African American Chamber of Commerce wishes to extend its gratitude to AFSCME for generously allowing the Chamber us of its building.
