Yesterday, history was made. The Midlands African Chamber, Inc. hosted its first-ever Legislative Dinner, and it was a meaningful and successful evening. We extend our sincere thanks to Senator Merv Riepe, Senator Margo Juarez, and Senator Terrell McKinney for taking the time to join us outside the Capitol for an intentional, relationship-driven conversation. This dialogue reaffirmed our belief that regular engagement between policymakers and small business leaders—especially those from underserved communities—is critical to shaping a stronger, more inclusive Nebraska business ecosystem. Thank you to Rib Shack Smoke House for hosting us and providing outstanding food and hospitality. This is the beginning of an ongoing effort. #MACAdvocacy #LegislativeDinner #NebraskaPolicy #SmallBusinessVoices #BlackBusiness #InclusiveEconomy #CommunityLeadership #JoinTheTribe
