Back when I was just learning the ropes of leadership, I remember how powerful it felt when someone took the time to share their knowledge with me, especially someone who had walked a different path than mine. Those conversations didn’t just help me grow professionally, they opened my eyes to perspectives and possibilities I hadn’t considered before.
That same spirit of growth, connection, and shared learning is exactly what you’ll find at the upcoming Minority Business Leadership Symposium, hosted by the Abilene Chamber’s Hispanic Business Council.
This isn't just another workshop, it’s an opportunity for both employers and employees to dive into meaningful conversations around leadership, networking, and bridging cultural gaps. Our community is becoming more diverse every day, and this program is about equipping all of us with the tools to grow with it, together.
You’ll hear from Thelma Tamez, a respected voice on workplace inclusivity, as she speaks on bridging cultural gaps in the workplace, a topic more relevant than ever in today’s workforce. You’ll also gain insight into the importance of access to affordable credit and banking relationships with Tori Flores, VP of Commercial Relationships at First Financial Bank. In addition, Shena Ramnarine of Sunstone Global will walk us through the ins and outs of navigating government contract bidding and highlight the wide variety of services needed (hint: it’s not just defense-related).
Whether you're looking to grow your business, strengthen your leadership, or better understand how to engage with Abilene’s increasingly diverse economy, this symposium offers something for you.
Join us this Thursday, July 24, from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM at McMurry University’s Garrison Student Center, 1400 Sayles Blvd.
This is more than a meeting. It’s a step toward building a stronger, more inclusive business community that celebrates opportunity for all.
Onward!
