In recognition of Black Business Month, Comerica Bank supported the 124th Annual National Black Business Conference held in Atlanta Aug. 21-14. This year’s conference impacted approximately 2,700 registered Black businesses, professionals, government agencies and Pan-African diasporic attendees.
Technical assistance was in abundance as there were 82 workshops and panel discussions along with $10 Million in buyer/supplier contract opportunities.
“I am proud to work for Comerica Bank that celebrates our individual and cultural differences,” Kevin Watkins, Comerica Bank Vice President, External Affairs Market Manager and National African American Business Development Manager. “We are dedicated to advancing all businesses, and that is evidenced by our dedicated colleagues that facilitated over 8,000 Business $ense workshops last year which impacted over 20,000 small businesses nationwide.
“Our commitment to Black Businesses is clear as we’ve collaborated with many organizations, such as the National Business League, on several initiatives including the organization’s National Black Supplier Development Program which has gained over $100 Million in new contracts and procurement opportunities in a three-year time frame. Comerica Bank is honored to work alongside The National Business League, World Conference of Mayors and The National Black Chamber of Commerce for all of the innovative ways they empower black businesses.”
