Today, leadership in action looked like collaboration, advocacy, and impact. Board members and leaders from the Midlands African Chamber had a productive and forward-focused meeting with Major John Ewing Jr. and his team at the City of Omaha to discuss expanding access to contracting opportunities and capital for small and underserved businesses across our community. We are grateful for a mayoral administration that is willing to listen, engage, and partner on solutions that create real pathways for entrepreneurs to grow, compete, and build generational wealth. When business leaders and government work together, opportunity expands, and our entire ecosystem wins. The work continues. The advocacy continues.
