Stephen Jackson The New CEO of WIBO Weighs In On Getting Minority Contracts

Stephen Jackson The New CEO Of WIBO Explains The Reality Of Preparing And Winning Minority Contracts In NYC

Stephen Jackson (Center) At A Recent WIBO Event

By Stephen Jackson, CEO Of Workshop In Business Opportunities (WIBO) Based In NYC

Recently the NYC Comptroller was saying NYC was doing terribly in minority contracts from the city.  Why is this the case with all the community prepping taking place?

There are other sides to this story. It takes more than getting prepped or certified to play the game of government/corporate contracts. One a small business is not getting a multi-million dollar contract with less than a $100 K in sales.

Government/corporations make primarily large purchases for the services/products they utilize and only a handful of minority businesses are primed for those types of contracts. Two, unfortunately, some minority businesses do not want to invest in the needed insurance, bonding necessary to bid on these contracts.

Learn Why This Award Winning Business Developer Believes Entrepreneurship Can Beat Poverty

AFRICAN AMERICAN MARKETING EXPERT VELMA TRAYHAM LAUNCHES SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM WITH A MISSION TO END POVERTY THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Atlanta, GA -- As last month's government shutdown left over 800,000 workers in the lurch, influencer and marketing expert Velma Trayham was focused instead on increasing employment, entrepreneurship and small business success. Trayham, CEO and founder of award-winning agency ThinkZILLA PR & Consulting Group, is launching her brand new Pioneer program, designed to help entrepreneurs find their purpose and turn their passion and purpose into a profit.

As poverty continues to spread across the globe - almost half of the world's population lives on less than $2.50 a day, according to DoSomething.org - Trayham believes small business success is a key to raising people out of poverty and recently launched business training programs focused on entrepreneurship. The Pioneer curriculum for start-ups provides the step by step guidance needed to launch a successful business.

"Entrepreneurs can change the way they live and work - and inspire others to do the same. Innovations created by small businesses can improve the quality of life, creating personal success as well as create communities that are more prosperous," Trayham noted.

DC Area Coalition to Host Black Youth Leadership Symposium

DC AREA COALITION TO HOST YOUTH LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM

Washington, DC  The DMV Youth Leadership Coalition has announced that registration is now open for its joint symposium event at the University of Maryland, College Park's Adele H. Stamp Student Union. The Saturday, April 20, 2019 event will feature workshop facilitators, panelists and exhibitors, and is intended for high school students (grades 9-12) and parenting adults. Attendees will also be treated to a catered lunch.

The purpose of the daylong event (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) is to provide Washington, DC/Metro area youths with a more accurate definition of Authentic Leadership while giving parenting adults the information they need to ensure their children gain proficiency in this area.

According to the 4-H National Youth Survey on Leadership (2016), ninety percent (90%) of young people say they are concerned about the future leadership of America, and two-thirds are more confident in the next generation of leaders than in the leaders they see today.

More specifically, the online Harris Poll of 1,501 of the nation's 9th through 12 grade students revealed the following:

• Most youth (81%) think leaders today are more concerned with their own agendas than with achieving the goals of their organizations.
• Seventy-six percent (76%) say leaders are focused on different priorities than what matters most to them.
• Half of youth rate government and political leaders as having weak leadership (51%), among the highest relative to other groups of leaders examined in the survey. Overall, weak leadership is related to not accomplishing what is promised (59%); not working collaboratively (56%); and not offering new solutions (53%).
• Most youth (96%) think leadership is important to addressing the country's most pressing issues; but only one in three young people says they have the skills they need to be prepared to lead.

Black Organization Inspiring Black Female Billionaires

BLACK WOMEN TALK TECH SEEKS TO INSPIRE AND CONNECT FEMALE STARTUPS WITH INVESTORS

New York, NY --  Black women startup founders CAN create billion dollar companies! That is the belief of three innovators - Regina Gwynn, Esosa Ighodaro, and Lauren Washington - who were inspired to create "Black Women Talk Tech," a network of support and resources for Black Women tech founders.

With research showing that Black women are the fastest growing group of female entrepreneurs, Black women in tech are no longer hidden figures; but there is a funding gap to support their innovation. However, this funding obstacle did not stop the three founders. They organized a conference in 2017 to provide an empowering experience for black women tech entrepreneurs to learn about business growth strategies and connect with investors and other tech founders.

In February 2018, they hosted, "The Roadmap to Billions" Black Women Talk Tech's 2nd annual conference, sponsored by Microsoft. The conference focus was on tearing down roadblocks and promoting #blackgirlmagic in the tech industry. The New York City Conference 2-day highlights included 20 expert panels and workshops, 44 speakers, attendees from 22 countries, a $10,000 pitch competition, 14 companies funded, and founder showcases.
