The Importance of "Staying Connected"
We believe that our newsletter helps YOU stay connected to important news and information about the San Jose and surrounding business community affairs.
We also cover issues that pertain to the Silicon Valley, state and national black community across the nation.
You can "opt" to be just on our "monthly newsletter" Group so you only get emails from the chamber once a month. But don't "opt" OUT unless you must.
Being connected is about being informed and at the end of the day, we want to spend our time and our service wisely.
Thank You for staying "connected" to our Silicon Valley Black Chamber of Commerce
